Currently at UHHS in Cleveland we do not status PT orders.  The order for
eval and treat stays on the patient record until he is discharged from the
hospital.  The only time the order is completed is when a more specific PT
order is entered. This is done in our skilled nursing facility.

Does any PT dept in an acute care hospital environment discharge or "status"
PT orders in TDS/Eclipsys when they (PT) discharge PT services during the
patient's hospital stay?  Does anyone know if this is consistent with PT
practice regulations?



MD orders are entered into TDS which notifies the physical therapy
department that a consult has been generated.  We (PT)  do not "status" the
order through the ordering function part of TDS-for example discharge the
order in TDS when we discharge services, adjust the order or complete or
cancel the order.  I wanted to know if any PT departments do in fact adjust
orders or "status" orders through TDS pathways and if they knew if this was
consistent with PT regulations.

Here is the question that triggered all of this..... we were asked why we do
not cancel the PT order once we have discharged PT services?
