Finding documents by status in a patient chart

When in a patient’s chart, you can always search for documents by their status. For example, documents in REVIEW status have not been signed by a clinician:

These are the relevant document statuses that you can search for:

Status	Definition
ADMINISTER	Medication and vaccines generally routed to nursing for patient administration.
CANCELLED	Orders that have been canceled.
CLASSIFY	Unknown documents awaiting classification by Athena (very very rare), probably not very helpful.
CLOSED	Most documents should be closed, so probably not very helpful.
DATAENTRY	Documents that are incomplete.
DELETED	Documents that have been deleted.
DISPENSE	Medication and vaccines generally routed to nursing for dispensing to a patient.
FOLLOWUP	Documents that require follow-up (usually lab/imaging results or referral orders).
HOLD	Documents awaiting reclassification further research or action.
NOTIFY	Documents that require contact with the patient (usually lab/imaging results or prescriptions).
OPEN	Encounters awaiting closure by the clinical provider.
PEND	Future orders or appointments that have been signed but not yet submitted.
PENDINGLABEL	Documents that have not yet been labeled.
PERFORM	Orders that need additional processing (often in-house lab specimens).
PREP	Documents associated with pre-visit planning.
QUEUE	Documents queued for processing (rare status usually incoming faxes), so probably not very helpful.
REVIEW	Documents requiring clinician review (lab/imaging results, prescription renewals, clinical documents).
SCHEDULE	Tasks or orders to be scheduled by practice staff for example return to office (RTO) visits.
SCHEDULED	Tasks or orders that have been scheduled by practice staff for example return to office (RTO) visits.
