8/11/26, 11:54 AM Clinical Order Transmittal Flashcards | Quizlet
Tasks
Used in multi-step orders transmittal to allow users to add information to an order
after is has been signed
Can you link more than one rule record to a facility?
NO -- Since there is only one facility record, only one rule record can be linked. After
a rule is linked to any entity in the rule hierarchy (such as emc fam med dept record)
no other rules can be linked to that record.
What master file are rule records in?
The rule master file (LOR)
Destination Resolution
The process by which order transmittal deptermines a specific destination for a send
directive's generic destination
Which hierarchy refers to the workstation (prints to the closest printer regardless of
where the pt is scheduled)?
Local
Which hierarchy refers to the encounter dept (sends to the dept nurse pool instead
of the workstation nurse pool)?
Patients (starts searching at the department level)
Destination Search Method
The method that order transmittal uses to determine which hierarchy to follow as it
searches records in the destination map master file (the methods are local and
patient)

Which order record property is based on situational factors and is mostly used when
searching for a rule or map record?
Contextual property (ex: encounter type, ordering workstation, encounter provider)
Which order record property is defined in med or proc record, can't be changed by
end users and is mostly used in conditions or set directives?
Order-defined property (ex: order class, order type, proc cat)
Which order property can be changed by end users before signing an order and is
mostly used in conditions and set directives?
End-user defined properties (ex: order class if there is more than one allowed, order
priority if there is more than one allowed)
When setting the properties in the properties master file, if the condition statement
relates to a med, it needs to incorporate a status called return values. What are they?
1 - not controlled
2 - controlled med
3 - controlled and schedule 2
Why does order transmittal need to look at a destination descriptor record?
To find out which hierarchy to use as it searches for a match in the destination map
master file (patient or local)
What is the final stop when resolving a send directive?
The destination map master file --> this is where the translation from a general
destination to a specific destination takes place (aka destination resolution)
A rule's directive (ex: send to loc printer) is listing not the name of the destination
record, but its _____________
Descriptor text
