Is there a way to search for past orders for one patient at a time?

If you press View on the main page then orders "show this patient" is not available to click. What's the trick?

Thanks!

I hope I'm wrong but this was broken during one of the updates a long time ago. I know it used to work because that's how I found out about it. But "show this patient" doesn't work for us either. As with every problem with AC, they never fixed it and so my work-around is to look through the patient's chart manually. We usually are looking for a Blood testing requisition so its usually in the most recent encounter. If you are trying to reprint it then you have to jot down the date of that encounter, go back to the main window, open up orders again and search for that date only. Somewhere in that list you should now find the order.

Right click on the patient name, choose "past encounters" then click the radio button next to "Orders" on the left side of the screen. This will show you all orders for the particular patient.
