Entering
Complex 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 complex supply orders, use the following steps:
- On the Order tab under the Write Orders pane, select Supplies.
- 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).
- After selecting the item, select the Complex tab.
- Enter a Dosage by selecting on from the drop-down list or typing
an appropriate dosage into the field
- Enter a Schedule using the drop-down list or by typing one in the
Schedule field.
- Enter a Duration and the unit of time (such as days, hours, weeks,
etc.).
- Select a conjunction (and, then, or except) unless this is the
last line.
- Repeat steps 4-7 until you have the entire complex order entered.
- (Optional) Type a Comment if needed.
- Enter a Days Supply.
- Enter a Quantity.
- Enter the number of Refills, if any.
- Select how the patient will receive the supply items (Clinic, Mail,
or Window).
- Select a Priority from the drop-down list.
- Review the SIG to make sure it is correct.
- Make any corrections as needed.
- When the order is ready, select Accept Order.
- If the Order Check window displays, review all order checks and
act appropriately.
- When finished, you can enter a new supply order or select Quit
to exit the dialog.
