Create Order

Note: The [Orders] label is configurable in the application. Other labels such as [Requests] can be used. For simplicity, [Orders] is used throughout the Help.

You can access the Create Order function only after you are in the context of a patient. See the Access Create Order topic for more information. 

Complete the following steps to create an order from the Create Order page once you are in the context of a patient:

1. From the Physician list, select the ordering physician.
2. From the Location list, select a location (to receive the order). The system lists order forms based on the orders the selected location can process.
3. Select an order form. Upcoming orders and filled/scheduled orders over a configurable time (for example, 200 days) are displayed based on the order form you selected. Review previously submitted orders to avoid submitting a duplicate.
4. If you want to see the order form for an upcoming or filled/scheduled order, select the View Order icon .
5. If you want to see additional request information for an upcoming or filled/scheduled order, select the View Additional Request Information icon . 
6. If you want to see Orders Originating From Outside Your Organization, select the button.  
7. Ensure that your browser is set to allow pop-ups, then select Create Order Form to proceed. The system creates the selected order forms. Each order form opens separately in a form viewer. Complete each order per the guidance on the form.
