Order Entry- Procedures
Full orders functionality will be shown in the CBT coming up. To provide an overview, all non ordering providers will select an ordering provider and source upon selecting “New Orders”. This will launch you to your selection screen where you can order off of favorites, by category group, or by typing ahead in the name tab. With the type ahead, select the desired order. Multiple orders can be queued up by clearing the search field after selection and typing ahead again.
Orders continued
Clicking next will launch into the Edit Order list where all new orders and any potential duplicate orders will display. Any orders that have fields requiring edits will have an asterisk. Clicking that order will display the edit screen and fields with asterisks must be completed.
Editing Order Frequency
In the edit screen of an order, the frequency field can be free texted in. For series orders, the system recognizes DAILY and QXH. Simply enter the count in the count field and the stop time will automatically calculate. For DAILY orders the start time automatically defaults to the morning draw. Once all requirements are satisfied clicking next will take you to the Manage Orders screen where additional edits can be made if necessary.
Orders cont
Once you have reviewed on Manage Orders and click next you will be taken to the Current Orders table where new orders will be displayed with a green “New” status until filed. Clicking submit files the orders. Physicians require pin entry before filing.
Order Sets
Order sets are available for use by nursing should it be appropriate. They are especially useful in the ED where the Med Approved Protocols are available for use. The sets group orders together to support evidence based medicine and can be ordered by category or by searching by name. Multiple sets can be selected at one time.
Order Sets cont
Once the sets are selected, the manage orders list allows you to select the orders that are needed. Edits can be made by clicking the blue edit button on an individual order or by selecting edit all which will queue up orders for editing. The functionality here is identical to orders and they will be filed in the same way.
