Pending Future Order Review

 

 

To review or release orders manually after being placed, select Order Chronology. The Status column displays Pending Future orders. The ability to release orders will depend upon the behavior controls that have been granted for the login. Future Orders may be modified from Order Chronology prior to the order being signed or released. Any part of the order may be modified with the exception of the actual order item. If the Future Order has been signed or released, the order cannot be modified.

Order Chronology

 

Select a Pending Future Order to view the detail, which will display information including the Order Reason and the Originating Account number from which the Future Orders were placed. The Order Reason option is available on the action bar if the Order Reason needs to be changed or if additional reasons need to be added.

 

Once the provider has signed the order, the Sign Date/Time/Physician will populate the information in the Future Order Detail screen.

 

Once the Future Order has been released, it will become an Active Order and will display the standard Order Detail screen. The Future Order Detail screen may be accessed by selecting the Future Order Hx button on the action bar of the Order Detail screen.
