Can Dr. Ness use the Priority field in the Order Composer to control if an order is standing or future?

The Priority field in the Order Composer is specifically used to indicate the urgency of an order, such as whether it is a high, medium, or low priority. It does not determine whether the order is classified as standing (ongoing and routine) or future (scheduled for a later date).

Standing orders typically require a specific set of criteria and a different workflow that is not controlled solely by the Priority field. Future orders are determined by the scheduling parameters applied to the order rather than its priority status. Thus, users must utilize different functionalities dedicated to speculating order types rather than reliance on the Priority field alone. Understanding these distinctions is crucial when managing orders accurately within EpicCare.
