Create a Medication Verbal Order


This is a great Barnestorm feature that helps to eliminate duplicate work and data entry error.  This process must be done in the correct order. 

When you update a patient's medication information in the medication history, you can copy that information into a Verbal Order with a couple of clicks.

1)  Enter the new/changed medication information in the medication history.  

2)  After all medications are entered click on Orders > Add/Edit Orders (for Office users) > Dropdown list for Type > Medication > Create Med Order. Any medications that were entered or changed in Office or Point of Care will appear. The employee and doctor on the verbal order must match the employee and doctor on the medication history.  If they do not match then the medication changes will not show up. 

**Note:
you must use this feature the same day the medication was entered.

See Create Verbal Order to see complete instructions on how to enter a verbal order.
