- Complex Order
- An order that is created from CPRS using the Complex Order dialog and consists of one or more associated Inpatient Medication orders, known as “child” orders. Inpatient Medications receives the parent order number from CPRS and links the child orders together. If an Action of FN (Finish), VF (Verify), DC (Discontinue), or RN (Renew) is taken on one child order, the Action must be taken on all of the associated child orders. For example:
• If one child order within a Complex Order is made active, all child orders in the Complex Order must be made active.
• If one child order within a Complex Order is discontinued, all child orders in the Complex Order must be discontinued.
• If one child order within a Complex Order is renewed, all child orders in the Complex Order must be renewed.
