Transfer orders that have not been activated within 24 hours and post-op orders over 72 hours old expire automatically, and must be written again. Expired orders do have to be discarded manually—they are removed automatically when a fresh set of orders is written.
Expired pre-admission orders can be renewed under some circumstances—see Renewing Pre-Admission Orders.
Orders can only be discarded before the session is activated. If the orders are already active, they must be discontinued. See Discontinuing Active Orders.
