      How to Print an Order


        Article summary


        You can manually print orders, like referrals, and Labs, from athena.

        Quick answer: 
        Click the order directly and click "Print".  "Print" can be found in the lower right of the order in the A&P, or near the upper right of the order in the Find tab.

        Details:
        You may want to print orders when:

        • You want to give the patient a copy of a referral, so they have the specialist info (name, address, phone)
        • You want to print a lab slip.  This is NOT NECESSARY (labs are transmitted electronically).  But it may help the patient remember to get labs done.

        THE WRONG WAY: DO NOT use the ACTIONS at the bottom for "Order Submitted", "By paper Print-out". If it is a referral, it will no longer be processed if you do that!!


        THE RIGHT WAY: 

        1.  Printing an order during the visit:
          Sign the order, then click on it in the H&P.  This will expand it.  Click "Print" the lower-right corner.

        2.  Printing an order AFTER the visit:
          Use the "Find" tab (by Time or by Type) to locate the order. Click on the order to expand it. Click "Print" near the upper-right corner:
