Entering Simple Supply Orders

To order supplies, the user must either be a provider who can order medications or an individual who has a key called ORSUPPLY. This key enables sites to allow users to order supplies without giving the user the ability to order medications. The ORSUPPLY key will be assigned by a Clinical Application Coordinator or similar person at your site.

Orderable items are designated as supplies by the pharmacy.

To place simple supply orders, use the following steps:

  1. On the Order tab under the Write Orders pane, select Supplies.
  2. In the Supplies order dialog, select the item from the list (you can type part of its name in the text box to move to that part of the list and then select the item).
  3. On the Dosage tab, select or type a dosage.
  4. If a Route is needed, select or type an acceptable route.
  5. Select a schedule.
  6. Type any comments.
  7. Type a Days Supply.
  8. Type a Quantity.
  9. Enter a number of Refills.
  10. Under Pick up, select how patient will receive the supply: Clinic, Mail, or Window.
  11. Under Priority, use the drop-down box to select the priority.
  12. Review the order text at the bottom of the dialog. If it is correct, select Accept Order. If something is not correct, correct that portion that is wrong. To cancel the process, select Quit
