Changes to How Code Status is Ordered

Go-Live: April 2, 2025

On April 2, 2025, the Code Status order will be added back to the Admit/Observation PSO Plan. With this change, the Assume Full Code order and Code Status order alerts that fire today will be removed from the system and no longer fire.

These changes are being made based on concerns with the Assume Full Code order being left in place and potentially providing resuscitation efforts against the patient’s wishes and to align with the future Epic workflow.
