Hi, I am new to AC and was wondering how do you guys give orders to staff. I was thinking ordering and "save with out printing" while in patient room with tablet pc.

these order will then go to my MA when I "forward the chart", who will execute them.

Now I find it frankly not very pretty at the bottem of the plan to have orders listed so I will need to remove them before printing a progress note for the referring physician.

Hence my question is will I be eradicating the only evidence of orders that I have. There will be no record then.

I just cant seem to get my head around to how folks order with AC. thanks in advance.
