15 May 2016

Epic admit orders are no longer a prechecked component of order sets.

Due to the recent IPPS-driven change in the Epic admission order process to remain compliant with CMS requirements, admission orders are no longer "prechecked" within order sets that contain an admission order.  An admission order, however is still required for all patients. Also, the recent changes to admission orders may have removed the precheck from the admission order on user-defined order sets if the "Warning - Check User Order Sets" prompt was disregarded.

Please verify that your user-defined order sets appear as expected and verify when going through the admission medication and order reconciliation process that your ordering session includes the appropriate admission order.
