Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Having Nursing Print Orders

Is anyone aware of an effective way to have nursing/front office staff print all orders on one sheet of paper during checkout? Our local labs aren't up to speed to have these directly submitted from within the program. This would save provider time in room from having to print them at time of order leaving more time to complete notes. Thanks!

Brian,

Are you talking about printing out all lab orders on one page? We print our requisition right from the room. As soon as all labs are selected, the provider can hit the "Print" button, select a printer, then send the orders. A couple extra clicks but this works well in our office.

Yes, that is what I was referring to. Thanks for the reply. I think we will stick with that method as well. We were hoping the staff doing checkout could just print them all at once, however, this is not possible based on my experience so far.

The staff could print them. My nurse prints them (when she knows what I want, i.e. I message her I am doing a urine or something), but how would you let your staff know what you wanted. I mean by the time you told them, you may as well do it yourself, and less errors would occur.

Our doc sends the print summary to the printer in the front office, that print summary has all instructions on it. We usually get it a minute before he leaves the room with the patient so we are already creating the orders and printing in amazing charts before they reach the check out window. We then give the patient all their orders, next appt and the summary printout from the visit.

Sounds like a good system!
