Daily orders are written on morning rounds in the Epic system by the resident/NP who is NOT presenting the given patient.After completion of rounds on the individual patient, the orders are to be pulled up on a computer and READ BACK OUT LOUD WITH THE PATIENT’S NURSE. Fellows should be listening to make sure nothing was missed or misinterpreted. In general, laboratory tests and X-ray examinations for the next day should be included in these orders. Guidelines for when to obtain labs and x-rays are present later in the manual. Please note: not every patient needs daily labs and chest x-rays (see discussion at the end of the book regarding this). Please personally inform the nursing staff of any STAT orders regardless of when the orders are written.
