Orders

Robust order functionality for treatments, investigations, and templates.

In the fast-moving environment of hospitals, doctors need to issue orders quickly, accurately, and with enough detail to prevent errors, yet without being bogged down by endless fields. Our Orders module strikes that balance by supporting everything from the simplest one-time instruction to the most intricate multi-phase regimens, all captured in a single intuitive flow that fits on a tablet or phone screen. Doctors begin by selecting the order category - treatment, investigation, or template/form - and the system instantly presents context-aware fields. For medications, search the cloud master database for medications, complete with strength, form, and common routes. Specify priority (STAT, Urgent, Routine), frequency (once, hourly, daily, weekly, alternate days, custom cron-like patterns), duration (number of days or stop date), route (oral, IV, IM, subcutaneous, topical, inhalation), dose, and any free-text instructions. Investigation orders pull from the master list with LOINC mapping, allowing single or panel requests (CBC + ESR + CRP bundle), specimen type, urgency, and clinical indication. Procedure orders include pre-op checklists, consent linking, and OT scheduling integration. PRN (as-required) medications are handled elegantly: define the indication (pain, nausea, fever), maximum daily doses, minimum interval between doses. Nurses see a one-tap “Administer” button that records the exact dose given, time, and outcome, preventing over-dosage automatically. The moment the doctor signs the order digitally, it appears instantly on the nursing and pharmacy mobile apps. Every administration is timestamped, signed, and added to the patient timeline, creating an unbroken audit trail. Orders can be modified, discontinued, or marked as completed by authorised users, with reasons mandatory for safety. Discontinued orders remain visible in the timeline with strike-through styling for clarity during handovers and medico-legal review. From a quick paracetamol order in OPD to a 28-day anti-tubercular regimen in the ward or a critical vasopressor titration in ICU, the module adapts to clinical complexity while keeping the interface clean, ensuring orders are issued faster, executed safer, and tracked more reliably across your entire hospital network.
