In myAvatar eMAR or eMAR NX, acknowledge an order so it can be administered.

The Order Acknowledgement dialog opens automatically when the order administration is initiated in eMAR or eMAR NX and an acknowledgement is required.

Prerequisites: 

    Appropriate options are selected for registry settings:
    • The Acknowledgement Required registry setting determines if an order acknowledgement is required prior to administration in eMAR or eMAR NX. 
    • The eMAR Acknowledgement to OE registry setting determines if the acknowledgement that occurs in eMAR or eMAR NX also marks the order as acknowledged within the Nursing Order Acknowledgement form.
    • The OE Acknowledgement To eMAR registry setting determines if the acknowledgement that occurs in the Nursing Order Acknowledgement form also marks the order as acknowledged within eMAR or eMAR NX.
    The user has the 'Prevent Use of Acknowledge Order Function In eMAR' setting in the Order Entry User Role and Order Entry User Definition forms set to 'No'.
    • The user may receive a warning when trying to acknowledge an order based on role-based restrictions defined in the Order Entry User Role and Order Entry User Definition forms if the user is not permitted to acknowledge orders.
