▪Usage: Was traditionally used with the Discharge Summary and Instructions application in the Point of Care application.

However, the TruBridge EHR will now use the Layman term set up in the Prescription Entry Frequency crosswalk table.

 

•Label Description

▪Default: Blank

▪Options: Up to a 10-character label description.

▪Usage: Allows a frequency description different than the one entered during order entry to print to the label. The description prints to the label ONLY and does not affect printed reports.
