What can you do for a group of selected patients when viewing report results?

When viewing report results for a group of selected patients, placing bulk orders is a feature that allows you to efficiently manage and act on information for multiple patients simultaneously. This capability is particularly useful in situations where a standard treatment plan or set of orders needs to be applied to several patients who share similar needs or conditions. For example, if a particular lab test or preventive screening is required for a group of patients identified through a report, you can place bulk orders to streamline this process, ensuring that all necessary actions are taken promptly and efficiently.

This approach enhances workflow efficiency, reduces the potential for errors that might occur if each order were placed individually, and saves time for the healthcare provider. In contrast, the other options, such as creating telephone encounters or ordering medication refills, typically require individualized attention and are not designed for bulk processing in the same way that placing bulk orders is.
