Editing Clinical Orders

Various functions for editing a clinical order or displaying additional information are available in almost all views of the clinical work station (e.g. views of the Occupancy view type).

Procedure

To call the editing functions in the table, choose the following functions from the corresponding view in the clinical work station:

Function	Procedure	What You Should Know
Find Clinical Order	To find a clinical order choose (Find Clinical Order). Enter the desired selection criteria.	If you search using the order number, the Change Clinical Order screen appears. If you search using the patient number, the system displays the clinical orders of the patient. You can select and edit an order from this list. If you search using the patient search and the system finds this patient, the system displays the clinical orders of the patient. You can select and edit an order from this list.
Display Clinical Order	To display a clinical order choose (Display Clinical Order). Open the patient data and order data, the header level tab pages and the item level tab pages using (Expand Data Areas) or close them using (Collapse Data Areas).	You can use Order Change to toggle to the Change Clinical Order function.
Change Clinical Order	To change a clinical order choose (Change Clinical Order). Open the patient data and order data, the header level tab pages and the item level tab pages using (Expand Data Areas) or close them using (Collapse Data Areas). Change the necessary order data, data in the header level tab pages, order item data, and data in the item level tab pages.	If you change an order which was created for a patient with patient master data, the system displays the patient data. If you change an order which was created for a patient with provisional patient data, you can change or supplement the patient data or create the patient master data. You can call the patient search (Find Patient) in the patient data of the clinical order. You can create a new patient in the patient search. If you use health insurance smart cards in your hospital, you can also import the patient master data into the clinical order using (Transfer Healthcare Smartcard).

Caution Caution

When changing a clinical order you should note the following:

In the input help the system displays only the status which the system administrator defined as the subsequent status in the status profile and for which you have authorization.

You should note that the system only checks required entry fields when the work process is continued, this means you can save the clinical order, even if not all required entry fields have been filled. The system only checks the required entry fields when you enter the status change in the order item.

You can therefore temporarily save the clinical order without having made an entry in all required entry fields.

If you enter a next status, the system saves the clinical order in the entered status. If you are not authorized to set this status you will return to the clinical work station. You can no longer process this clinical order due to missing authorization for the status.

End of the caution.

To edit order items, print the clinical order, or display additional information you can call the following functions in the change or display mode of the clinical order:

You select the desired field of the clinical order by selecting the gray pushbutton at the beginning of the row. Choose (Continue). The change documents of the selected field are displayed. Position the cursor on a change document and choose (Details) to access a detailed view of this change document.	The system displays information on the changes to the field content, e.g. user ID (user who made the changes), date, field label, old value, new value, etc. Further functions are also available in the change documents display (e.g. sort, find, filter, print, etc.).

Note Note

When saving the clinical order the system checks whether the entered appointments of the order items correspond to the opening times and the deadline of the treatment organizational unit (planning objects).

Also, the system checks whether the service quota, which the treatment OU determined for the initiator, has not been exceeded.

If the entries do not correspond to the opening times, the deadline, or the service quota (is exceeded), the system displays a warning or an error message (system parameter N1KPMSG).

End of the note.
