Creating STAT Pharmacy Initiated Orders

In the Pharmacy Initiated Orders model, pharmacy category orders are entered by the pharmacy. However, medications that are required immediately, for example a one time only STAT orders, must be entered into PointClickCare by the facility for immediate administration. 

Facilities must fax the written order to the pharmacy to maintain accurate pharmacy records. When the duplicate STAT order is received from the pharmacy for confirmation, this order is struck out, maintaining the facility entered STAT order and administration details.
