Is it bad practice to put hover interactions in a table?

enter image description here

Hello!

I'm designing a CRM table view for a medical web app, and a core need of our users (mostly surgeons and nurses) is to quickly ascertain the compliance of their patients by viewing

  • whether or not a patient has completed a form (or forms) in their care plan
  • Which specific forms the patient did or didn't complete

To address these needs I'm considering an interaction (img attached) on the page listing all the patients, wherein a pill component indicates for each patient whether or not they have forms due; and if the user hovers over the pill, it triggers a view of the forms in question.

My Question: Is it bad practice putting this type of hover interaction in a table, where users will be mousing around a lot and potentially triggering these hovers accidentally?

A note: Fwiw, patients will only have about 2-4 forms due at any given time, so the hover card will never be super tall

Thanks!
