Order Cancel Reason
After selecting the Order Type, nursing has the ability to apply a cancel reason in Order Chronology when discontinuing an ancillary order. A prompt will display to select a cancel reason based on location and if "Prompt for cancel reason" is selected in Department Table, page 4.
When verbal, phone or protocol nursing and ancillary orders are discontinued, the order will be sent to the physician's e-sign queue to be signed. In addition, a Verbal/Phone/Protocol Order sheet will print, if setup to do so, and will print to the Physician Entered Orders Report (PEOR).
When discontinuing frequency ancillary orders, the following screen will display:
Discontinue/Cancel Ancillary Frequency Order
Users have the ability to Discontinue Series which will discontinue the parent order along with any child orders that have not been completed. The other option is Cancel Selected item(s). This option is disabled until one or more child orders have been selected from the list. When the option is selected, Thrive will take users to the Pending Orders Review screen. Users must have the Behavior Control for Discontinue Series for Ancillary Orders. This behavior is not a default behavior.
NOTE: If the parent order has reached its charge point or is Complete, an individual test in the series or the entire series may be canceled in Order Chronology.
After discontinuing a series, the Pending Order Review screen will display.
Pending Order Review for Canceling Series of Ancillary Orders
In the Pending Orders Review screen, the initial scheduled date and time of the order(s) will appear before the Stop Date/Time.
After updating, a cancel order reason must be documented as shown earlier in this chapter.
