After you write and sign routine orders for a patient with pending transfer, post-operative, or delayed rewrite orders, the Pending Active Session dialog box opens. This offers access to the inactive specialized order session to add the orders there as well.
To accept the default answer, No (ALT+N), and add the orders to the patient's current active orders record only, click OK (ALT+O). When the transfer, post-op, or delayed rewrite orders are activated, these new orders will be inactivated. Orders inactivated this way have to be rewritten if they are still needed for treatment.
To access the inactive order session, click Yes (ALT+Y). The new orders are added to the inactive session as well. These orders will be carried over when the transfer, post-op, or rewrite orders are activated.
