Order Processing for Guideline Items

You can process the order placed for care guidelines for a patient.

You can process orders placed for labs and radiology diagnostic studies and submit to the Order module using the Process and Submit Lab/Radiology Orders template.

A link to this template is available on the following templates:

• You can perform order processing for guideline items from the Care Guidelines template after orders are placed or from the Checkout tab template as part of the process of checking the patient out at the end of the encounter. You can also perform order processing from the My Plan template, along with other items ordered.
  Note: To place the orders for care guideline due items from the My Plan template, select Care Guidelines Orderables.
• When the results for ordered items are returned:
  • Orders that are processed and submitted to the Orders module are marked as result received and updated with the date received and the result.
  • The system automatically calculates the last addressed date and the next due date for the guideline item when the order has been resulted.
  • This occurs whether the order is resulted manually or the result comes through the Rosetta Interface.
  Note: After you place the orders for labs and radiology diagnostic studies, it is important to process the orders by selecting which lab or radiology facility should perform each test and submit the orders to the Orders module using the Process and Submit Lab/Radiology Orders template.
