Order sets group several orders together to make order entry convenient and efficient. They can be as small as two orders together such as a test and the test prep. At the other end of the spectrum, they can offer a comprehensive plan of care focused on a patient’s health issues.
Order sets can be convenience-based, departmental-based,
or pan-departmental-based.
There are three types of order sets: standard, multi-order, and referenced order sets. You’ll learn more about these soon.
Some of the features of order sets include:
- pre-selected orders
- order timing
- generic order sets
