Managing a Filed or Pending Order Using the Bar Code
When an order is filed, scheduled, or put on PSC hold, the requisition or PSC hold confirmation letter includes a 1D bar code.
You can use the Order Entry page to retrieve the order by scanning or typing the bar code number. With this procedure, you can edit a filed, scheduled, or held order, or file a scheduled or held order. When you edit one of these orders, you can typically change any aspect of the order except for the lab, client, or patient’s SSN or patient ID.
Notes: • You cannot use this procedure to retrieve generic orders, third-party orders, or standing orders. However, you can use it to edit a filed instance of a standing order. • You can use this procedure to retrieve filed or pending orders only for your assigned labs, and only if ordering has not been disabled for the associated client. • If the order that you retrieve included an alternate order code, that code is automatically replaced with the primary order code. In addition, if you try to add an alternate code to the order, it is automatically replaced with the primary code. |
