Ordering Configuration

The Problem

• Original thread on Hardhats [1]

Ignacio Valdes Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:38:42 -0500

Let the ordering Configuration begin! This looks like it will be by far the most complicated part of all this.

I have uploaded to the files section a copy of our admission order form:

• http://groups.google.com/group/Hardhats/web/ICH-118%20Revised%2007-06.rtf

for RTF and 

• http://groups.google.com/group/Hardhats/web/ICH-118%20Revised%2007-06.doc

as .doc just in case.

What is the best way to proceed in getting this into ordering so that one does not have to go to multiple sub-headings to do a set of orders. I am aware of 'Order Sets' but not if they can be sub-selectable like for instance one does not normally enter urine pregnancy test on males.

The first part, Admitting diagnosis will be a DSM IV Axis I diagnosis. Inpatient, partial and outpatient are covered elsewhere so they are not an issue. I do not know what to do about 'Programs:' as that is a local bed control issue to be done.

So that leaves Precautions which should definitely be executable orders in effect for a certain period and possibly canceled after a period of time, for instance Suicide precautions. How/where should I add the different Precautions into ordering? Same with Restrictions.

When one enters a generic consult, how do consultantee's know that they are being consulted?

How does one 'bundle' Vital signs Pulse, Respriation, BP?

Probably many more questions to come...

Seems like I am getting into little trodden territory. Is there a CAC manual for defining order sets? If so, can anyone furnish a link to the right manual? -- IV

First Answer, be sure to read the manual

Sam Habiel Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 19:41:46 -0700

Both the VA and IHS have good manuals on how to do this sort of thing, but you will fumble a little at the beginning.

Go to

• http://www.va.gov/vdl, look for CPRS, and look for the CPRS set-up

manual. Or

• http://www.ihs.gov/cio/ehr.

Here are the steps:

---

The way I would do it is as follows, assuming you have lab, pharmacy, and radiology running (if not, you will have to use generic orders).

Create individual generic orders for all your items. There's a steep learning curve, but you eventually get the hang of it. Create quick orders for labs, pharmacy, radiology

Create an order set, possibly several of them depending on the circumastances (e.g. males don't get hcg because... well... because...)

After ordering and signing, create a note template that will include the rest of the information, and that pulls in all orders automatically into the note text.

Your workflow may look like this:

1. Initial evaluation note, saved, not signed.
2. Vitals, Allergies, etc.
3. Order Set.
4. Complete note.
5. Encounter information

Sam

This is the manual

ivaldes Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:23:59 -0700 (PDT)

Is this the right manual?

• http://www.va.gov/vdl/documents/Clinical/Comp_Patient_Recrd_Sys_(CPRS)/cprssetup.pdf

Sam Habiel Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:03:57 -0700

Yes.

DSM IV Axis I psychiatric diagnoses are in fact available

I, Valdes Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2008 09:30:43 -0700 (PDT)

FYI everyone, the Diagnosis dialog DOES have access to apparently all DSM IV Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders Axis I, however, you have to go to the Other Diagnosis dialog and search for them. It looks good enough for what we do. The mental leap is that the default Psychiatric Diagnosis set has only very basic diagnosis but it seems that all or most with qualifiers ARE available through the Other Diagnosis search.

I, Valdes Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:14:39 -0700 (PDT)

Try it out

Okay, I tried to put in some text orders into CPRS but when I try to save them as quick orders, it says that the text orders dialog box does not support quick orders. I looked at the CPRS manual setup it looks daunting. -- IV

I, Valdes Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:35:41 -0700 (PDT)

Is anyone willing to talk me through creating order sets by phone? If so, please contact me offline. -- IV

I, Valdes Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:45:14 -0700 (PDT)

I spoke to Sam today and we got through much of defining an order set. The full terminal session for this is below. However, the new order set menu did not show up because the system is not 'christened'? Per Sam, the menu below shows the problem which is that system is pointing at BETA.VISTA-OFFICE.ORG and not INTRACARE HOSPITAL INSTITUTION? He said to please post this to Hardhats on how to christen the system.

Christen a new Domain

Sam Habiel Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 19:26:50 -0700

I.e. A domain was not created and/or was not pointing to the right institution.

Sam

I, Valdes Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:46:56 -0700 (PDT)

Can anyone please guide me as how to rectify this problem? -- IV

Nancy Anthracite Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:00:29 -0400

See http://www.hardhats.org/projects/VistA_Install/Vista_Install.html Step 41 or the wiki

I, Valdes Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:22:25 -0700 (PDT)

I did steps 41-48 and it worked somehow. However, I had to go back and re-constitute the Routine Admit Panel menu as it did not recognize it immediately then I restarted CPRS and it appeared. An un-wanted side effect is that all of the default Order menu items like labs and such disappeared. Sam says I will have to re-constitute all of that myself unless there is another way to get them back along with the menu I just created?

The bad news

Sam Habiel Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2008 17:01:40 -0700

"Sam says I will have to re-constitute all of that myself unless there is another way to get them back along with the menu I just created?"

Sorry to break the bad news to you: the fact is sites take at least 6 months to get ready for EHR, and a lot of that time (at least 2 months FTE) gets spent on configuring the pharmacy package, the lab package, the radiology package, creating all the quick orders, the menus, hanging the quick orders on the menus, hanging the menus on CRPS, configuring note titles, configuring Allergy tracking, configuring consults and list goes on... To speak nothing of creating TIU Templates, which takes forever depending on how many templates you want to create.

Restore default ordering menus

I, Valdes Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 06:43:02 -0700 (PDT)

That's about what I expected, however, I'm still trying to understand why creating a single order set made all the useful default WorldVistA ordering menus disappear? -- IV

Sam Habiel Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 11:52:57 -0700

It's done so that you can customize the ordering by division, service, user class etc. Once you set a list at a lower level, it overrides what is set at a higher level. Initially, this didn't work because you didn't have your system set up correctly.

To reconstitute the list, look at orwor write orders list for system, and copy the menus that you see. It should less than take 5 minutes.

Sam

I, Valdes Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 09:44:51 -0700 (PDT)

So here is the terminal session done with Sam Habiel for how one brings back the default WorldVistA ordering menus after adding a custom order set. I miskeyed a few things such as XBAR instead of XPAR so just note and probably ignore the mistakes I made. This also shows how to change the order such as adding an inpatient medication item. You do the following, then restart CPRS and the menus are all back. I will show in the next note how to remove the inpatient medication list that I have as sequence 5 using the apparently commonly used @

So, you're a traditional Chomskian at heart? (Look up "X bar theory" in linguistics.)

I'd say I am an accidential Chomskian but it is a good read on wikipedia. It answers the eternal question as to why o why I had to do all of that sentence diagramming in grade and high school. -- IV

Nurses get ORES key

I, Valdes Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 13:37:14 -0800 (PST)

The default Nurse ID's in WVEHR have Security Key ORES vs ORELSE. The nurses in admissions frequently take orders by phone (especially late night) from the physicians and sign them on behalf of the physician which the physician then signs later. Is ORES what they should have in this situation?

Per CPRSsetup guide:

• ORES
  • Assigned to users authorized to write and sign orders.
  • Typically assigned to licensed physician.
  • Allows holders to electronically sign orders.
• ORELSE
  • Assigned to users authorized to release physician’s orders.
  • Typically assigned to RN’s.
• OREMAS
  • Assigned to users authorized to release patient orders as signed on chart.
  • Typically assigned to Ward Clerks.

David Whitten Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 18:03:50 -0600

I suspect it depends on the practice at the site. If you expect the nurses in admissions to write and sign orders, then you need to give them ORES. I did a search through the code and found that there are two PROTOCOLs which specify Actions for the separate keys:

They look mostly alike, the ORELSE protocol has ORC VERIFY MENU and ORC ALERT RESULTS whereas the ORES one doesn't.

I expect that CPRS can be used to enforce whatever policy your site has.

Best Regards, David

In the VA, as I understand it, the nurses can write nursing orders and they can take verbal orders that later need to be signed. They do not get the ORES key.

Nancy Anthracite Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:34:13 -0500

Except Nurse Practitioners do get ORES. -- Nancy Anthracite
