Required Action(s):
Update from the February 9 Clinician Champion Meeting. Personal preference list will not be automatically updated. Please manually update your personal preference list using the workflow below.
- Go to Personalize, then Preference List Composer
- Go to your CT Scans and remove the old orders. Then add the order back in with the new CT order.
The two main workflow changes will be:
- Using the info for radiologist entry for any relevant patient history
- The availability of a new allergy workflow (which allows ordering premedication from a pre-built panel instead of manual orders).
Please reference the TIPS sheet for a full breakdown of all the changes: 2024 Training Tip Sheet CT Outpatient Order Composer Updates.
Remember: System updates will go out Feb. 20. Please update your personal preference lists.
