In an effort to increase patient safety: When ordering blood products for Red Blood Cells, the orders are now on an order set. The individual order panels are no longer available.

As functionality and connectedness has increased between Epic and external bodies, we are now able to transmit electronic messages when medications are discontinued to hundreds of pharmacies. As such, we have identified the need to align our Epic system closer to the intended workflow to ensure that when a medication is discontinued, it is based on the guidance of the provider.

We have added a new section to the Post-Op Admit and Post-Op Discharge navigators.
