Correct rejected orders in Homecare

In Homecare, the orders rejected via the Physician Portal appear in the Order Run they were linked to in Homecare. Rejected orders receive the status 'X' and are locked from editing for historical purposes. A new identical order with a new ID number is generated in place of the rejected order. You need to correct and approve this new order.

  1. Log in to Homecare.
  2. Generate the Orders Audit report for the rejected orders and, if needed, specify other criteria. The generated report shows the information on the rejected orders.
  3. Make the appropriate corrections in clinical, patient, payer, or other information based on the reason you see on the report
    Note: If the order was rejected by mistake, do not make any changes.
  4. Link the corrected order to an Order Run.
  5. Review and approve the order.
