  • Expected Date for Orders - (Handout) Most After Visit Lab and Follow-Up orders now require an Expected Date. The Expected Date clearly communicates to clinical and scheduling staff when the order needs to be completed or scheduled.
  • Placing Standing Orders - (Handout) Place one standing (recurring) order rather than multiple individual orders to be made available for release multiple times (current and/or future encounters).

  • Add-On Lab Orders - (Handout) Place add-on lab orders to recently collected specimens.

  • Placing Orders for Non-UIHC Imaging - (Handout) Follow these steps to place an order for radiology tests that will be done at a non-UIHC radiology location, such as a local hospital.
  • Using CareSelect when Placing Radiology Orders - (Handout) When placing orders for advanced imaging procedures (CT, MR, PET, NM), Epic uses CareSelect to evaluate the appropriateness of the order for that patient. When CareSelect identifies exams that may be more appropriate for the patient, a Best Practice Advisory (BPA) displays with a list of suggested alternatives, allowing you to easily change your order.
