Quick Guide

How to place an order for a prescription or x-ray (or any other order) and ensure the correct clinician/authoriser is selected.

1. Within the Dental Workflow, select the New Order Entry component.
2. Search for and select the item you wish to order.
3. The ‘Ordering Clinician’ box will display. By default this will show the lead clinician for this patient. If this is not your mentor/supervisor delete the name from the Clinician Name field and enter your supervisors name.

4. Select the communication type and click OK.
5. The order will move to the order basket.
6. Repeat steps 1 and 2 if any additional orders need to be placed.
7. Click the order basket then click Modify Details.
8. Select the orders(s) in the Orders for Signature panel and complete the details as required.
9. Click sign.

The order will be sent to the selected clinician to approve.

In some cases, the ordering clinic box might not display when you select the item to order. This is because the system remembers your previous action to cut down time in the process. If the wrong person was selected initially, or if you need to send the order to a different person, follow these steps.

1. Place the order using the usual process.
2. In the Orders for Signature panel, right click on the order in the top section of the screen.
3. Select Ordering Clinician.
4. Update the Clinician Name field and click OK.
5. Complete the order details as required and click Sign.

The order will be sent to the selected clinician to approve.
