Order Manager Set Up

Order Entry allows the user to place, manage, and track orders and results from within the patient chart. These orders are used in the Plan field. This SMARText Item type will display as Order Entry in the SMARText Manager window when searching. This item type is the base of all Orders in the SOAPware system. It is important to understand that the Order Entry item type is different from other SMARText Items.

*Note: In the Security settings, there is an option to cancel the creation of a task item. It is generally not a good idea to allow a task item creation to be canceled. If this option is activated, it is possible to skip creating a task item by clicking Cancel. The order will be placed for the patient, but without an associated task item.
