- If there are no Selected Performing Entities at the location level, the system uses the selected performing entities set at the practice level.
- If there are no entries in either the location or the practice level selected lists, the system loads all available performing entities in the In-House Performing Entity.

To set the default value for the
PERFORMING ENTITY list in Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), you can configure
Preferred Performing Entity based on the following:
- Payer of the patient’s insurance.
- Location (if not configured for the payer).
- Practice (if not configured for the location and payer).
When payer, location, or practice configurations are not available, To Be Determined appears in the CPOE PERFORMING ENTITY list. In this case, CPOE creates the order using the compendium code.
- Select the laboratory and radiology In-House Performing Entity from the available performing entities in the list.
Note: The COMMON ORDERS list displays the most-frequently ordered items available in the selected In-House Performing Entity.
- To save your preferences, select OK.
