Order Manager Set Up
Order Manager allows the user to place, manage, and track orders and results from within the patient chart.
Order SMARText Item Types
The only SMARText Item types that can be used in Order Manager are order items. This is due to the way these particular SMARText items are designed. There are several types of SMARText Order items includign:
- Immunization Order
- Injection Order
- Lab/Path Order
- Procedure Order
- Radiology Order
- Referral Order
Downloading Order SMARText Items
Before downloading, we recommend making a list of the most frequently used Orders in the practice. Orders would include any diagnostic test, procedure, immunizations/vaccines, or referral that need to be performed in-house or outside of the clinic.
To download the order items that will be used in the clinical practice:
- First access the SMARText Items Manager from the Documents menu item or by pressing the F10 key. Verify the check box for Include Cloud Library Items is checked.
- Users can search for all orders, immunizations, referrals, etc using keywords such as the test, vaccine, or procedure name. Users may also search using the CPT code. *Note: In the Type column, the order items can be identified. Clicking on the Type column header will group the SMARText Items together by Type.
- Click to highlight the item you want, then click the blue downward facing arrow to download. After items have been downloaded, customization of the Order sub-items can be made if needed.
Customize Order Sub-Items
Order sub-items that are displayed in Order Manager can be customized under the Tools menu.
- Click the Tools menu item.
- Click Options.
- Click Structured Order Entry.
Structured Order Entry
The Structured Order Entry tab will allow the user to designate the sub-items to be displayed within the Order Manager and the SOAP Note Plan field for each order type. Click on each tab (ie: Orders, Procedure Orders, Referral Orders, etc.) to define the default sub-items for the orders.
Immunization Orders
If using an immunization interface, it is very important that the sub-items for your Immunization Orders be set up properly. To set up these sub-items click on the Immunization Orders tab (last tab). Immunization Orders include two types of sub-items:
- Immunization Specific: This will show sub-items specific to immunizations. All of these sub-items may be required for reporting to state registries for Meaningful Use. Place a check mark in the box for each item to include it by default when an immunization is entered into Order Manager.
- Generic Order Entry: These are the basic order sub-items that can be included with orders. Most users will want to check at least the following: Related Dxs, Performed Date, as these two items are required for state immunization registries and for many eCQM measures.
Order Entry Destination Set Up
Order Entry Destinations are facilities that are user defined where orders can be submitted. For example, Westside Hospital Lab might be a destination. It is a place to send orders (i.e. tests, labs, studies, procedures, equipment, etc.) to be processed.
