What is included in the SmartSet functionality of OrderSets?

The SmartSet functionality of OrderSets in EpicCare is designed to streamline the ordering process within the electronic health record system, and it encompasses a variety of order types to enhance clinical efficiency. Specifically, the inclusion of inpatient mode orders in SmartSets allows healthcare providers to efficiently access and manage orders that are pertinent during a patient's inpatient stay. This means that clinicians can quickly select appropriate orders based on the specific treatment and care needs of patients who are hospitalized.

In addition to inpatient mode orders, SmartSets can also include various order categories such as outpatient orders and other clinical documentation, but the key here is that its functionality is robust enough to support the complexity of inpatient orders which might involve multiple specialties and require coordination among various healthcare team members.

Other options mention more limited scopes, such as just outpatient or specific task-related functionalities, but these do not reflect the comprehensive nature of what the SmartSet functionality offers in relation to inpatient care. This wider integration is critical for ensuring seamless patient care in a hospital setting, making the recognition of inpatient mode orders as a part of SmartSet functionality particularly relevant.
