Fax Future Orders to another facility

I am a physician at a rural access hospital that serves patients within a large area. It is not uncommon that we send ancillary and nursing orders to outside facilities for things like labs, radiology and outpatient nursing orders ie fluids, outpatient IVF.

Other than through entry of a note with generically entered orders, or through physically faxing paper orders, we have not found a great way of electronically sending "future orders" to outside facilities.

There should be a way of easily electronically sending ancillary orders to outside facilities.

My IDEA: From within order entry, there be a way to indicate that orders are to be faxed to an outside facility. This would trigger a dropdown menu for selecting the outside facility /department (these would already be built in the facility list/table.) When orders are all entered with order reasons assigned and ready to be sent, in one step I would be able to electronically sign and fax to the selected location.

    I would like to move this away from order entry and having to choose the option of future orders. It should be easier for the provider to open their note and be able to order directly from their note as well as documenting this plan of action and then upon signing the order and note it prompts for external/interal requisiton and faxing/sending option.
