Have an option to include future orders in an order set.

I realize the provider can jump around but to stream line things for the provider we hoped to be able to allow them to add future orders from an order set without actually going in to the future order application and process.

I ran through that scenario with my test doc - added some orders to pending for the hospital side then decided to add some Future Orders (selected Future Orders and processed using the same Order Set). When I came back from Future Orders, my hospital orders were ready to review and sign.

Opposite direction Michelle. We are in an order set on the Hospital Side as we discharge a patient and we want to build in future order seamlessly so the provider can order the follow-up outpatient testing/services the patient needs post discharge.

You can certainly use the same order set for both current and Future orders; however, the provider will have to select Future Orders before adding those orders and process them separately. A header reminding them to select Future Orders before selecting orders below that line might be beneficial.

Is there a way to have an order set with both an order for now and future on one order set though?

Order Sets may be access from within Future Orders during Order Entry by changing the List Type.
