Order Phases with details screen opens
- Most physicians have already completed their ordersets so this is just a matter of double checking to make sure that orders are actually check in phases.
- Ordersets are divided into the different phases of care for the patient. (Think of each phase as a different piece of paper). The best view (and least confusing), is to click on the name of each phase to see only those orders
- Small down arrows next to order details indicate that a different detail is available in a drop down list
- If just a few items need to be changed then right click on the words of the detail to see the Modify button
- If items are missing then Providers click Add to Phase to add additional orders
-
Providers NEVER initiate orders sets if patient is not in hospital, they will always be placed in a planned status. Orders are only initiated when the patient is physically in that area of the hospital.
- When orders are initiated all timers start so this can disrupt medication timers if initiated at incorrect time.
- To make sure that all of the orders are in the orderset, then click on the Orderset Name in the gray View column, this changes the buttons on the bottom right corner to Orders for Signature (this button automatically puts orders in a Planned state).
9. After clicking the Orders for Signature button, the screen changes. Simply click the Sign button to drop the orders. NEVER click Initiate Now buttons.
10. Orders have now been placed on the patient’s chart.
