Ancillary items can be found using the Departments search option. Selecting the department title displays a list of all items available within that department.

 

 

To Locate an Ancillary Item

 

In the List Type field, select Departments; then from the Departments drop-down, select All or a specific ancillary department.

 

To select an ancillary item, enter a description in the Search field. Items will appear in the Search Orders portion of the screen. Scroll to locate the desired test/item; then double-click the item (or select it and choose the Edit option from the action bar) to add it to the Pending Orders area.

 

Ancillary items will display date/time, frequency, and whether or not the item is set as STAT.
