New Other Order

You can input orders into a resident's chart for entry of any order that does not fit into the other Order Categories, or for orders as ordered by a practitioner.

Other category orders can have schedules applied or require no documentation but act as a general order. For example, a resident may have an Leave of Absence (LOA) with medications.

  1. From the Orders tab of the resident clinical chart, click New.

  2. Enter in Order Date and Time that the order was given.

  3. Select the Order Category as Other.

  4. Select Ordered By. Use the magnifying glass to search a list of Providers or click the linked name of the Last Prescribed by provider.

    Optional: Use the Order Template Search to access order templates.

  5. Enter a Description.

  6. Select the Order Type.

  7. Save to save this individual order or click Queue and New to place this order in a queue and bring up another Order Entry window.

  • All fields noted with a red * are required fields.

  • If you use Order Templates, you can personalize certain fields and items in this order as indicated by the warning icon. Hover over the Icon to see the personalization message.

  • Scheduling Details is not a requirement for an Other Category type of order because these orders may or may not require documentation to be recorded against it.
