Life of an Order

Once an order is written, depending on the order type, it will have a Status (sts) of
unreleased.


Releasing an order in CPRS is the same as signing an order on paper. For nurses taking
verbal orders, it’s the same as writing an order and signing it as a verbal order.
Once the MD signs the order or the RN releases the order, the status will change.



Medication orders will have a status of Pending…until pharmacy verifies the order. After
verification, the orders will be Active. They may also be Expired, DC’d etc.
Medication orders that are not verified by Pharmacy will not have a stop date.
Text (Nursing) and some other types of orders once signed (released) automatically are
Active.





To take action on an order. Highlight
the order and Left click Action
Nurse would also Complete an order
or verify an order from this option.
Release without MD signature allows
you to take a Verbal/Telephone order.
It is recommended that you use this
method when taking a verbal order.
Signature on Chart says that you are
putting in an order that is written on
paper some place.
Action also lets you Change an order
or Discontinue/ Cancel an order
**Note** If you verify an order before
it has been verified by pharmacy, you
may need to reverify that order.
If you want to take action on multiple
orders, hold the CTRL key down while
left clicking the orders
Verifying an Order

Verifying an order means that it is Noted. You’ve seen the order and have
made sure that the order is handled as it should be (when applicable).


If it’s a medication order, that its appropriate for the patient and that when the
time comes to give it, there are no reservations as you see it. For ECU, this may
also mean that you have ensured that the medication label or hand written entry is
on the MAR and ready to be administered.
Verification can also be done by ward clerks designating that they’ve seen the
order and if necessary, taken action on the order (printing lab requisition
slips/labels)
Verify an Order continued
Verification columns will be blank if the order is
not verified.

the note, called Templates





Remember, when completing a note, all fields that have an * in front of them must be
filled in.
When the note is completed, select finish. This places your note in the chart,
Unsigned.
At this point you can either “Sign Note Now” or “Save Without Signature”
If you Sign the note, you will not be able to edit it…only add addendums to the note.
If you Save without signature, it saves the note so you can edit/add to it.
Save Without Signature






If you’re using “Save Without Signature” to continue using a template in the future,
you must remember where you stopped on the template. It’s a good idea to stop end
of a section so you can start at the beginning of the next selection.
You must use the “Edit Progress Note” from the Action option in the menu bar. You
must also have the note you wish to edit highlighted
You’ll notice that your cursor will be placed at the bottom of the document that you
are editing. This is so that if you reuse a template, it will insert the new data at the
bottom of the note. You could move your cursor around and free type any text into
the note if you wanted too.
When editing a progress note DO NOT use the New Note option. If you find that
you have a blank page, its because you used New Note instead of Edit Progress Note.
If you signed the note, you will not be able to edit a note.
If you signed a note, you will not be able to delete a note.

tool to help you touch all the areas that need to be addressed.

Reports Tab


The Reports Tab displays certain data in a more viewable format.
Not all patient data will be in reports…Some of the things you can find there





Allergies (remote data)
Historical Medication Administration in the Inpatient side (BCMA reports)
Inpatient Flowsheets (Careplan, Coag, etc)
Inpatient Vitals
You may find the reports tab does not have data that every user needs, just
realize that it is there.

This is where you’ll find remote data.
Reports Tab




When a user first clicks on the Reports tab, the only options that are visible
are the reports and the data from the reports. When the user clicks on a
report, CPRS uses the requesters default date range setting under personal
preferences. This by default is set to the last 2 years worth of data
Once you run a report, CPRS will then ask for a data range to customize it.
The problem is that you may have to wait for 10 minutes for the first report
to run (set to the last 2 years)
In order to fix this, all users should change their default preferences. This is a
one time preference change.
Once this default setting is changed (to a shorter period of time) you can then
go back and select a date range that meets your needs.

exact dates…it uses T (today) – the number of days you set. In this example T-14
Hit OK on each screen to back out.
