Creating Order Types 

Order Types determine where orders appear in the system, what administration record it appears on, if it appears on a pharmacy requisition, on the order summary, or medication review report, and so on. The Order Type option appears in the New Order window at the end user. You can add, edit, retire, and delete Order Types from the Orders List. 

Note

After Order Types are saved, the Order Categories cannot be changed. 

  1. Do one of the following: 

    • Single Community: Care Services > Setup > Lists.

    • Multi-community: Management Console > Standards > Care Management > Lists.

  2. Click Order Types. The list next to each name shows what is currently available to your staff.

  6. Complete the classification mapping process so that the Order Type is triggered when adding a new order to a resident's chart. Do one of the following:

    • Click class next to the Order Type and select which drug classifications belong to that Order Type.

    • Click Classes to add classifications for multiple Order Types at one time.

      • In the window, click the Order Type in the left column to expand and see which classifications are already added. Select other classifications from the right column and click add classes.

  • In the New Order Type window, Description is the title that appears for the end user in the New Order window.

  • Mandatory End Date - If selected, any order using that Order Type cannot be an indefinite order, an end date must be added.
