Overdue and Expiration Intervals

The Overdue and Expiration Intervals apply to Orderable Items. These fields tell the system when to generate an overdue order task or an expired order task.

So, in general, If you want someone to be notified of an order that is 30 days overdue, you would set the overdue field to 30.

Now the other thing to consider before settign these intervals is that there are 4 different intervals to set for Overdue Orders

First lets' clearly define the values for these fields.

1. The default for a new orderable item is 0
2. The maximum value of an overdue or expired Order is 365
3. 0 means that the order will never expire or become overdue
4. 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.
