When building a cascading flowsheet, what setting should be configured to make rows invisible until a response is entered?

When configuring a cascading flowsheet in a system like Epic OpTime, setting the rows as "Start Removed" ensures that these rows remain invisible until a specific response is entered by the user. This setting allows for a cleaner user interface and helps guide the practitioner through the workflow by revealing only relevant information. It enhances usability by reducing clutter and focusing the user's attention on the necessary inputs until certain criteria (the user’s response) are met.

This approach is effective in ensuring that users are not overwhelmed by information that may not be applicable to their current situation, allowing for a more streamlined experience in data entry and decision-making. Furthermore, it is particularly useful in clinical environments where specific data may only be relevant after certain conditions are satisfed or certain decisions are made.

Other settings do not provide the same functionality. For instance, rows that are set as "Visible" will always be displayed regardless of user input, while "Always Hidden" keeps rows out of view permanently. "Conditional Display," while it can make rows appear or disappear based on certain conditions, does not inherently hide them until a response is entered unless specifically configured that way. Therefore, setting the rows as "Start Removed" is the most effective way to achieve the desired condition of making them invisible until
