What must orderable procedures be linked to for them to be looked up in order entry?

For orderable procedures to be looked up in order entry, they must be linked to a procedure category. The procedure category serves as a classification that organizes different types of procedures, making it easier to find and select the appropriate orders during the entry process. This hierarchical structuring allows clinicians to navigate through various procedures systematically, thereby enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of order entry.

In typical scenarios, linking procedures to a specific category ensures that they are displayed correctly within the order entry interface, allowing for intuitive searching and selection by healthcare providers. This systematization is crucial for maintaining a streamlined workflow in a clinical setting.
