Alert: Patient Status Order Alert
Currently scheduled for May 3rd, a new alert will be started on inpatient encounters.
If NO Patient Status order has been placed, when a provider opens the patient's chart they will receive an alert letting them know that this order is missing. This must be placed for every patient.
Alert: Notification that no Patient Status order has been placed, with direct link to orders page and ADMIT PLAN
Admission Medication Reconciliation Alert
A minor change will be made to the Admission Med Rec Alert. The alert will look and function the same however it will now only fire when the medication history has been completed and the admission reconciliation or the discharge reconciliation has not been addressed by a provider. This will allow for an alert to the provider with more complete and accurate information.
