Are you using the uncollected orders feature in OE? If so, what are you doing with the orders that go uncollected after the patient is discharged? Did you realize that these orders do not auto cancel when the patient is discharged? Do you see a need for this? If so, I have put in a mix request MIX #4836793. If you agree that this should be an enhancement, please let Meditech know. Meditech's argument is this: "the change was rejected by development on the basis that although a patient is discharged, theorder may still be valid if it was placed before the discharge date/time. They coded this so that an order does not cancel just because the order has not yet been updated that the specimen was collected, etc. So, any orders that are UNC and invalid, but entered before discharge, would need to be manually cancelled for the patient. Development figures if the orders service time has already passed before the discharge, the patient was around for the collection but the order was not updated in a timely fashion. So, to avoid the user having to re-enter an order simply to change the prompt from Collected N to Collected Y, then the same cancellation rules should apply to UNC orders as all other orders with a service date and time prior to the patient's discharge. I can definately see your side on this as well, but they coded as most hospitals do not place orders in realtime. Thanks."
