The Overdue Intervals apply to Orderable Items. These fields tell the system when to generate an overdue order task or an expired order task based on the priority defaults.


The Priority Defaults are as follows

ASAP: Order is to be fulfilled as soon as possible.

Pre-Op: Order must be fulfilled prior to an operation (surgical procedure).

Routine: Order is standard part of a procedure and may be scheduled to be fulfilled routinely.

Stat: Order fulfillment is the highest priority and must be fulfilled immediately.

Today: Order fulfillment must occur the same day as the order is created.


Things you should know before adding your intervals

The default Interval for a new orderable item is 0

The maximum value of an overdue Order is 365

0 means that the order will never become overdue

Any number over 365 will be processed in the EHR as 365. Even if it allows you to enter it, it will never exceed 365.


In Brief If you want someone to be notified of an order that is 30 days overdue, you would set the overdue field to 30. If you don't want to notify anyone, just set to 0

Setting the intervals

During an upgrade, your task here is to review and change if necessary, the Overdue Interval levels for each Orderable Item. You will be working with SSMT to complete this task.
