Navigating MAT Orders

The MAT Order tab on the patient chart houses all the crucial information about the patient's active and past orders. Additionally, users can create change orders, exception orders, and cancel/discontinue the order. This tab also allows the ordered medication to be dispensed to the patient (or denied).
