Order Search Tab

See the Order Entry Overview topic for different ways to access the Order Entry screen, depending on your role or type of access.

1. Once you are on the main Order Entry screen, click the Search tab.

2. Type the name of the procedure or medication into the search field beneath Search Options.

You may type the name partially and use a dash "-" as a wildcard character. For example, if you want to search for gravol, type "GRA-", then click Search.

EPR will locate procedures or medications that begin with "GRA".

Notes:

• You may search using either the medication's brand or generic name.

• When typing in medication names, you may use upper or lower case letters.

If you need to search for more than one item or procedure, you may type all of the items into the search field, separated with a comma.

For example, if you had a list of three items to order consisting of GRAVOL, TYLENOL, and LABETALOL, you may type all three items into the search field as follows: "GRA-, TYL-, LAB-", then click Search.

Your search results will appear below the Search Options field. Each item will have its own set of search results beneath a banner that is labeled with your search text.

The first set of results is expanded, while the other set of results are collapsed. In our example below, the search results for "GRA-" are displayed, while the search results for "TYL-" and "LAB-" are collapsed.

You may click on the white arrow to the left of each banner to expand it and display the search results.

3. Select the desired procedure from the list and click Add Order.

4. From the Typical Orders tab, select the appropriate option and click Add Order.

5. The GRAVOL order will be displayed in the Order Preview section.

6. You may now proceed to select any other items you had searched for. In our example, we will place an order for TYLENOL. Click on the white arrow to the left of the "TYL-" banner. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the TYLENOL order.

7. The TYLENOL order will be displayed in the Order Preview section.

8. You may now proceed to select any other items you had searched for. In our example, we will place an order for LABETALOL. Click on the white arrow to the left of the "LAB-" banner. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the LABETALOL order. Click Order Summary.

9. You will now see the Order Summary screen. This is your last chance to review the details of the order, so review it carefully. If you need to make any changes, click on the order.

It will then be highlighted in grey. Buttons will then become enabled at the bottom of the Order Summary screen. Click on the appropriate button at the bottom of the screen (see the Add Now Event and Edit Initial Events topics for more information on these actions).

Once you have confirmed that the order details are correct, click Accept Order to finalize the order.
