Create corrected order

Path: Patient > Clinical 
Path: Patient > Documents > View Orders 

Generally, clinical entries (medications, visit frequency, goals and interventions, clinical notes, and other items) can be edited before an order has been approved and sent to the physician.

The way you create a corrected order depends on its status. For more information on statuses, see Order statuses.

Status To correct

R (Generated)

L (Linked)

Make your corrections and all changes are available when you preview the order again.

 P (Printed)

Make your corrections, select the corresponding printed orders and click Force a Correction in the Order Run to reflect your changes. The order status changes from "P" (printed) to "C" (corrected). Corrected orders for paper signature need to be reprinted before approval.

X (Rejected)

Rejected orders are inactive and non-editable. The system generates a new order with the identical clinical information. Rejected orders are corrected through reprocessing by the general workflow.

 A (Approved)

Once an order has been approved ("A"), any clinical changes appear on a supplemental order. If there are some changes in general clinical (from Patient>Clinical>General Clinical) or non-clinical information, use Print corrected orders to reflect the changes. To print a copy of the order for MD#2 and MD#3, you can use Reprint orders.
