Since Orders need to be signed in a timely manner to stay compliant, it is important to review orders on a regular basis. |
The provider may sign the order to complete the approval process or dispute the order for the registered nurse to address.
A list of unsigned orders entered at the direction of the physician by the care team in a DaVita facility will be displayed in descending entry date order with the option to review.
Order Queues
Within the Orders section you will find 3 queues that can be expanded and collapsed. |
The count displayed to the right of the queue name reflects the number of orders in the queue. The list can be minimized by clicking the minus sign in the left corner of the header bar.
A provider has the ability to dispute an order assigned to them if the order is incorrect in some way. The order will be sent back to the DaVita teammate to modify, discontinue, change the provider, or refute. This queue will display both refuted and disputed orders.
The ALL ORDERS queue displays all of the provider’s unsigned orders and allows the provider to act on up to 20 orders at a time.
The count displayed to the right of the queue name reflects the number of orders in the queue. Please note that this number includes orders that are in the Orders Entered in the Past 7 Days queue - if those orders are acted upon, this total number will decrease.
The ALL ORDERS list is sorted based on the order’s Entered Date from the oldest order to the newest and can be filtered by patient name or order status.
