Orders Overview

The Orders component provides practices with an electronic way to submit outpatient orders to specific hospital departments. It also provides an electronic way to get updates on orders that have been submitted. 

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.
