Physician Reorder Report

Physician Reorder Report Table

Primary and Secondary Sort Order

The Nursing and Pharmacy copies can be sorted using different sort criteria. You can designate any of the following as the Primary and the Secondary sort criteria:

•Nursing Station

•Patient Name

•Physician Name

•Reorder Date

•Room Number

Nursing Sort:

Enter a 1 next to the criteria to use as the primary sort and a 2 next to the criteria to use as the secondary sort. The primary sort is listed on the top of each page of the Physician Reorder Report. Each page sorts according to the secondary sort criteria specified in the table. The Nursing copy page breaks by the primary sort, regardless of whether it is custom or the default.

Pharmacy Sort:

Enter a 1 next to the criteria to use as the primary sort and a 2 next to the criteria to use as the secondary sort. The report sorts according to the choices in one continuous report. The Pharmacy copy will NOT page break by primary sort. The Pharmacy copy only relies on the table to determine the order in which information is displayed.

Both Pharmacy And Nursing:

Both a primary and secondary sort option must be entered for Pharmacy and Nursing. If a primary sort option is entered, a corresponding secondary sort option must also be entered. If a secondary sort option is entered, a corresponding primary sort option must also be entered.

If no sort parameters are entered, the report prints using a default format of Nursing Station as primary and Physician Name as secondary sort parameter.

NOTE: If only one report (Nursing or Pharmacy copy) is needed or desired, contact your TruBridge Pharmacy Support Representative for further assistance.
