Pharmacist would like CPSI to alert providers that they have unsigned orders in a patient's "Pending Orders" queue before they back out of the CPOE screen. Additionally, the "Ordered" and "Entered" dates and times are misleading. Displaying the time the order was added to the "Pending Orders" queue does not provide useful information to users. "Ordered" should show the time the order was signed and entered into the system as an order to be verified by pharmacy or nursing.
Yes please! I currently have an open situation regarding the "ordered" & "entered" time being significantly different from the physicians signed order time for an ancillary order & the provider purposely left the orders in his pending orders queue.
