Dr. Coghill:
You are not alone. In Arkansas, we have to write prescriptions for some lab tests and procedures, as well as durable medical goods like rolling walkers and ankle-foot orthotics.
However, AC 3.6 does allow us to inactivate or delete those kinds of things after we write for them, so they don't have to stay there forever.
I would consider "inactivating" Rx'ed orders if they are for an orthotic or lab that might need to be ordered again. If you don't want to see them again, you just click the "active tab" on the Patient Med List. If I never wanted to see them again, I would delete them whenever convenient.
I am somewhat new to the program and the board here, so let me know if I missed the point of your question. Maybe those X-ray orders are going somewhere I'm not thinking of?
