The Pending Orders pane will show the item description up to the colon followed by any predefined dose, route, frequency, flow rate and priority (Stat/Routine) info as pre-defined in the Pharmacy Information table for that item. If there is predefined information present in the Order Set/List/Protocol Maintenance table, this will take precedence over the Pharmacy Predefined Information.
