I have been tasked with making an order rule that will stop staff from ordering
MOST lab/mic/bbk procedures STAT.
The exception is for patients in the ED.. we already have every OE procedure
set up on Page 2 with the default priority of S for the location of ED. My plan
was to create a general rule I could apply to ALL procedures then take if off
the 50 or so that are OK to order STAT. My problem comes in when I have to say,
if the priority is STAT, and the location is NOT the ED, or is NOT Labor &
Delivery, send error message, else OK to order.
I have tried from the not equal to, as below, that works. When I try for more
that one location, I have trouble. Also my resource (Meditech OR Rule Training
Guide) doesn't tell the novice like me how to have multiple lines of nested IFs.
The following rule works just fine:
"Procedure "_[f ord proc]_" can not be processed STAT, use U and time of
NOW"^M,
IF{[f ord pri]="S"&[f pt location]'="ED" [f ord err msg](M);
[f ord ok]};
There are some procedures that will be OK for ED and one other location so I
did this. BUT, now I get the error message when I enter the test as Routine,
Urgent or Stat:
"Procedure "_[f ord proc]_" can not be processed STAT, use U and time of
NOW"^M,
IF{[f ord pri]="S"&([f pt location]="ED"![f pt location]="NBN-SCU") [f ord ok];
[f ord err msg](M)};
Any help appreciated!!!
