What does OCC stand for in the context of items being set at system definition level?

In the context of items set at the system definition level, OCC stands for Order Control Category. This designation is critical in organizing and managing the way orders are processed within the EpicCare system. Order Control Categories help define the nature of an order, such as whether it is for medications, procedures, or other types of interventions, and dictate how the system will handle these orders through their lifecycle, including order entry, routing, and ultimately, fulfillment.

Understanding the significance of Order Control Categories is essential for ensuring that workflows are efficient and that the correct processes are followed for different types of orders within the system. This impacts not only clinical operations but also the accuracy and efficiency of patient care delivery.
