This is true about electronic ordering but there is a provision on what is acceptable for electronic order, just ordering in a system and spitting out requisitions does not comply, There needs to be password verification and review of this information by the clinician before it is ordered and sent to the laboratory performing the service when the requisition is created. They go on to say that orders and requisitions are different aspects and should not be confused. IF the orders are just received through an electronic interface then there is a difference. But if the specimen is received using any paper form then this needs to be signed by the clinician either electronically or manually.
We are looking at this really closely, with using paper requisitions, even orders from the OR for frozens, molecular studies, interoperative work, all needs to be signed by the surgeon. Can you imagine the impact that this is going to cause. Our current solutions is to have maybe standing orders in place and move and look at process within the Main OR's, outpatient OR and clients. Once again a huge problem,, but Bill is right this will lead to more and more paperless enviroments.
