Procedure Orders

The Procedure Orders section in VEHRDICT allows providers to document and organize all medical procedures ordered for a patient. This facilitates clear communication and streamlined care planning across diagnostic and therapeutic workflows.

Providers can order a wide range of procedures through integrated partner systems, including but not limited to:

Diagnostic tests – e.g., blood panels, X-rays, MRIs
Therapeutic interventions – e.g., surgeries, vaccinations, physical therapy

Step 1: Viewing the Procedure Orders List

To access the Procedure Orders list:

From the main menu, click on Patient.
Select Procedure Orders.
You’ll see a table displaying any previously ordered procedures.
Click Add New in the top right corner to begin a new order.

Tip: Use the search bar to filter through historical procedure orders quickly. This is especially useful for long-term care patients with multiple interventions.

Step 2: Entering Procedure Order Details

After clicking Add New, you’ll be brought to the Procedure Order Details form.

Fill in key fields including:

Order Provider: The provider requesting the procedure.
Date Ordered: When the procedure was requested.
Procedure Partner: The organization or lab fulfilling the procedure.
Procedure Type: Select the relevant test, exam, or treatment.
Instructions: Enter any special notes or pre-authorization requirements.

Warning: Always confirm the procedure partner is in-network or pre-approved for the patient's insurance to prevent claim denials or delays.

Summary

The Procedure Orders feature helps maintain a clean and traceable record of all tests and treatments ordered, while simplifying coordination between providers and partner facilities. This ensures continuity of care and boosts operational efficiency.
