Defining an Order Run is a two-step process: naming it and selecting the orders for this Order Run.

  1. Go to Orders>General>Order Run.
  2. Verify that the Open Run option is selected.
  3. Click the insert row icon to add a new run.
  4. Type the name of the Order Run and click OK. 
    Note: Naming the Order Run is strictly a way to identify the run. It does not prevent other users from selecting the Order Run. Your agency should determine a standard naming convention for Order Runs so they are easy to identify.
  5. In the Select Order Run window, double-click the Order Run you just named.
  6. The window for the selected Order Run opens with the Define tab active.
  7. Click the insert row icon and select orders for the run in the Select Orders dialog. 
    Only orders not yet assigned are available for selection. You can select either all or specific patients and then select the check boxes next to the orders you want to include in the Order Run. 
    Use Expand All to see the orders of the selected patients and Select All to select all orders for all patients. Also, you can select orders by class, team, branch, or order type.
  8. Click OK. 
    Orders' status becomes "L" (linked).
  9. You may print the orders and review on paper, or review them on screen. Corrections can be made until an order is approved.
