  15. Click the Care Guidelines History link.
  16. On the Care Guidelines History template, the ECG record appears in the grid with a Status of completed. The order is found because the following is true:
    • The Protocol data set named Hypertension contains several orders. One of those orders is ECG.
    • The ECG order is mapped to the ECG order in the Test Codes data set.
    • The ECG entry in Test Codes is mapped to several synonyms, one of them being EKG.
    • The EKG order is found in the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine order_ table on the patient’s chart.
    This process occurs for all of the protocol orders.
