In which location are signed orders for a therapy plan controlled?

The location where signed orders for a therapy plan are controlled is within System Definitions. This area serves as a comprehensive administrative hub where various systemwide configurations and configurations associated with clinical workflows are established and managed. Specifically, the System Definitions module is designed to hold essential configurations that dictate how various orders, including therapy plans, are processed and managed within the Epic system.

By leveraging System Definitions, administrators can specify criteria for order management, ensure compliance with clinical protocols, and streamline the workflow involved in handling therapy orders. This allows for a standardized approach across the platform while maintaining flexibility for different types of therapy plans and their specific requirements.

While the other locations mentioned may play roles in different aspects of the EpicCare system, only System Definitions encompasses the necessary configurational controls for managing signed orders for therapy plans. For example, User Interface Settings typically pertains to how users interact with the system visually, while Patient Administration focuses on individual patient care management, and Operational Protocols revolve around operational and procedural guidelines rather than direct order management.
