Order "Type" Category


Below is a description of what information is pulled when using the different categories from the Type dropdown box within the Orders screen. 

Wound – When a patient has a wound assessment that has been entered into a visit, you can select the wound from this dropdown and create an order for wound care.  The wound orders will then show up on the visit assessment when documenting on the assigned wound.

Labs – Select this category if you are entering repeat labs for a patient.  The labs will show up while on the Labs screen within the visit assessment.  You can view the labs or you can select the lab order to add that documentation to your visit assessment.

IV/Injections/Feeding/DEM/Supplies– These work the same as the Labs category.

Admission/Resumption – The patients current ICD history and med history will be inserted into the order. There’s an optional phrase at the end for the doctor to mention any specific parameters they want to set for the patient. Any text can be modified or added, as needed.
