Renew Expired Non-Chemo Pre-Admission Orders

• Non-chemo pre-admission orders over 30 days old must be reviewed through a renewal process, then signed by an MD.

• Unless activated, expired non-chemo pre-admission orders are automatically discarded after 60 days.

• Special rules apply to chemo pre-admission orders—see Overview of Activation Dates and Expiration of Chemo Pre-Admit Orders.

• If you haven't already:

1. Select the patient.

2. Access the pre-admission session one of the following ways:

• If the orders are due (Order Status = Pre-Admit), click Activate (ALT+C). If prompted, select Pre-Admit/NICO Session, then click OK (ALT+O).

• From the Pre-Admit/NICO Order Session list:

1. If there is more than one pre-admission session, select the line for the orders you want to renew. When included in a pre-admission session, chemo orders are listed separately in the sessions list as "Session #2 - Chemotherapy."

2. Click Renew (ALT+R).

3. Click Yes (ALT+Y) when you have reviewed all of the listed orders appropriately.

4. Click OK (ALT+O) to activate the orders in the session.
