Medications: Change Orders

Once an order is created in the Doctor's Orders tab, users with the correct permissions can make changes to them.

Required Permissions: Doctors, Nurses, Super Admins, and Records Admins can create Custom Orders.

Please Note: We recommend completing the exercise below in Fullscreen mode by clicking on the icon on the top right corner of the exercise.

Change orders can only be initiated after an order (quick, custom, or eRx) has been created.

1. To initiate a change order, navigate to the Doctor's Orders tab and click on the Change button.
2. Make the desired changes (ensuring that all required fields are still filled out. You can also add a change reason which will appear on the order. Then click Submit.
   1. Note: If your facility uses DrFirst/Rcopia, you can check the eRx box to send the prescription to Rcopia, if desired. When performing a change order on an eRx order, a signature will again be required in the Rcopia portal. If your facility does not use DrFirst/Rcopia, the eRx box will not appear.
3. The new order will appear in the list. Click on the text in the Order column to open it.
4. The order will show the current version at the top and include the change information below, including reason, if any was added.

Note: When taper/titration orders are in progress, they cannot be changed. Grayed-out days are days that have already passed. If you need to make changes, create a brand new order for the new number of days and dose amounts.
