Orders written in the Emergency Department Treatment Areas
All orders written in the main Emergency Department are flagged <ED order only>. These orders should only be used for emergency treatment in the main ED treatment areas.
If the patient has been moved from the main ED to observation or admitted to an inpatient care unit, you will be prompted to inactivate the ED orders automatically when writing new for inpatient treatment. If the new orders are written in a pre-admission session, all active orders will be inactivated automatically when the pre-admit orders are activated. See Writing Pre-Admission Orders and Activating Pre-Admission Orders.
