Order Entry

 

 

The system will prompt for the account number the orders will be transferred from. The field will default to the most recent visit # listed for the patient.

 

Transfer Option

 

 

•Orders may be transferred as Written, Verbal, Protocol, or Telephone from Ancillary, Nursing, or Pharmacy. The ordering physician may be changed, if needed.
 
NOTE: To transfer an ancillary order with a frequency, this should appear as a single order and prompt the user for Frequency on new account. When the user is in the Order Edit screen, the frequency label should be red and require the user to address it prior to update.

 

•The item types that are to be transferred are available with check box selections.

 

•Once Continue is selected, the user will see the transferred orders in the Pending Orders box on the Order Entry screen. The order data from the previous account/visit will still apply to the new orders (Indication, PRN Reason, Physician ChartLink Questions/CL Phys Questions, OE Questions).

 

•When the user is ready to Update, this will create new orders for the current account and Discontinue orders for the previous account/visit.

 

•Ancillary orders from departments not set up to allow transfer will not be moved to a new account. (Please see Allow Xfer of Ancil Orders in the Ancillary Reference user guide.)

 

•If the patient is located in a department set up to "Prompt for cancel reason," selecting Update from the Order Review will prompt for an Order Cancel Reason.

 

•The Ordering Physician will default to the patient's attending physician, but may be manually changed.
