One Time Only Schedule

A One Time Only schedule can be applied to orders that are written for an item that requires administration or documentation one time, and it is discontinued after a certain period of time or date. For example, a pain medication that is given before a dental appointment.

One Time Only orders have varying End Dates applied, depending on when the order written.

Specific Date

  • Continue the order until a specific date and time.

Duration:

  • Allow for the order to be scheduled for a specific day(s), week(s), or month(s), and show the end date based on the duration entered.

  • Administer until the schedule is finished.

  • Require a reassessment which prompts an alert to reassess the order after schedule completion.

  1. From the Order Entry window in the Schedule Details section, click One Time Only.

  2. Enter the Related Diagnosis and/or the For (Indications for Use) fields.

  3. Enter Additional Directions as directed in the order.

  4. Review/adjust Start Date and Time

  5. Select an End Date.

  6. Enter any Admin Notes or Supplementary Documentation via Add.

  7. Continue onto the Source Details section of the order.

  • When a One Time Only schedule is applied to orders, an alert appears within the Order window.

  • Either the Related Diagnosis or For (Indications for Use) field are required for orders entered in with a One Time Only schedule. If neither are entered, an error message appears upon saving or queuing the order.

  • Admin Notes are notes that are visible to the clinician administering the order to the resident.

  • Add Supplementary Documentation to any Routine schedule for a variety of system items or a Custom item can be created for documentation to be recorded against when the clinician is administering the order.
