Procedure documentationEnding Orders

 

You use this function to immediately end medication orders before the end of their validity or to bring a planned end time forward. You extend the validity of an order using the Change Order Status function.

The system sets the orders to the internal status Ended and cancels the future medication events which have not yet been administered, dispensed, or a prescription printed.

The system does not cancel the events in the past, regardless of whether they have already been administered, dispensed or a prescription printed. If the administering employee tries to document an event in the past, the system displays information stating that the order has already been ended. The administering employee can decide whether he still wishes to document the event. The same applies if the pharmacist wishes to document the preparation of the drug for an event in the past.

Note Note

System administration can customer-specifically change or enhance this function using the Business Add-In N1ME_CHANGE_ENDORDER.

End of the note.

This function is available in views of the Medication Orders View Type in the clinical work station.

Note Note

You can also determine a future date for the suspension. In this case the system will create an order activity. By scheduling the report RN1ME_OAPROC as a job, you can execute this order activity and therefore set the status of the order to Ended at the planned time.

End of the note.
