Q

Would you typically specify the Order Type at the procedure level? Why/why not?

A

No. While you CAN set it in the Override Order Type field, it makes more sense to establish this at procedure category level to cover an entire group of similar procedures.

Q

Dr. Mica orders a procedure called Amb Referral to Dermatology. Would this be an orderable, performable, chargeable, or combination? Explain.

The referral would be an orderable because it’s like saying, “Somebody please do this” and isn’t actually being performed or charged now.

Q

In the procedure category for Lab Send Outs, two buttons were set up for the Class field. However, whenever Dr. Mica orders an iron assay (which is a procedure linked to the Lab Send Outs procedure category), she sees four buttons for the Class field. Explain why.

A

The system searches for details using the procedure > procedure category hierarchy, so it found the four buttons defined in the procedure record and displayed them.

42

Dr. Quartz complains that whenever he orders any diagnostic imaging test for any patient, the question “Is the patient pregnant?” appears. What setup is wrong?

A

The linked question record should have been limited to females of a certain age.
