Decreasing Verbal Orders
Due to a few recent event reports relating to entry of verbal orders into Epic, we are in the process of reviewing the frequency/extent of verbal order entry at our facility. Our current policy states that verbal orders should be used "infrequently" and when it is "impossible/impractical" for the ordering provider to enter the orders themselves. Has anyone had to address a similar situation at their own facility?
