Each template is built and stored in the Provider Order Entry (POE) system. Both the template builder and template player functions of POE present the existing templates in folders inside an explorer pane, as shown below:
Along with those for a variety of departments and services, the explorer displays folders for admission orders, personal sets and templates, and test templates. Admission order templates are either generic, diagnosis-based, or built around the requirements of the admitting care unit. Any user authorized to write orders in POE can access any of the templates in either the Admission or Department folders. Templates stored in your Personal folder cannot be accessed by anyone else. Test templates can only be accessed by users authorized as template builders.
Note: Only authorized users can build templates in POE. (For keygivers, this means having a 'Q' in the POE authorization string.)
