Order Entry Order and Print Rules
  •  It is a good idea to avoid creating error messages that will not allow the user to file.
  • Warning messages are helpful, but error messages can create a lot of user frustration.
  • [f ord msg] = warning but user can continue
  • [f ord err msg] =user cannot continue
Order rule that gives error message and does not allow the user to continue.
Example:

"TOTAL THYROXINE is inactive, delete the TT4 procedure & enter TSH instead"^M,
IF{[f ord proc mne]="TT4" [f ord err msg](M);
[f ord ok]};
 
Order Message That Displays and allows the user to file
[f ord proc mne]="PC"^A,
   "Packed Cell (PC) order includes a group and screen"^M,
  IF{A [f ord msg](M);
  [f ord ok]};
 
Order Message Generated Based on Priority and Response to a Query

 [f ord pri]="R"^A,
 [q OE.LAB.CA]="Y"^B,
 "POST OP CALCIUM LEVELS MUST BE ORDERED AS PRI=S (PRIORITY STAT)"^M,
 IF{A&B [f ord err msg](M);[f ord ok]};
