The Manage Orders page allows you to efficiently generate Physician Order (PO) documents in bulk for all residents or specific groups. There are two document formats available: Current Physician Orders and All Physician Orders.
For more information about Physician Order documents and the Manage Orders pages, read this Manage Orders Reference Guide.

Physician Order PDF
The Physician Order PDF always contains a first page with resident profile information, including health profile details. The following pages contain specific order information and sections for prescriber input.
A Prescriber column is visible for each Routine/PRN/Treatment order, which displays the prescriber name associated with the order.
Medication names show a Service Level label if the order is set up with anything other than the defaulted Service Level (e.g., the PDF will show: Assistance, Self-Administer, Third Party). For instructions on how to globally update the default Service Level for orders, refer to this Medications Settings Guide.
Diagnosis information appears in the Medication column below the order name. Note that this information will only display here if it was added to the Diagnosis field on the order. Read this article for more information about editing orders: How to Edit Medications, PRNs, and Treatments.
The final page of Physician Orders documents contains a New Orders section for prescribers to write new orders if needed.
You can add a disclaimer to the bottom of your Physician Order PDFs as well as customize the signature lines, which is configured in Medications Settings. For instructions on how to manage these settings, read this How to add a disclaimer and signature lines to Physician Orders guide. For configuration assistance, contact your Account Manager or ALIS Customer Success Team.
Print for a single resident or specific medications
While generating either 'Current' or 'All' Physician Order documents, you can drill down to a specific resident or specific medications.
Single Resident: In the settings pane, toggle from "Multiple Residents" to Single Resident and select the resident's name from the Resident dropdown menu.
Specific Medications: Once a single resident is selected, you can choose Select Meds to Print. This allows you to check specific orders, which are grouped by prescriber name. You can select all orders listed under a prescriber by selecting the checkbox next to the prescriber name.
Note: You can also print POs for an individual by navigating directly to that resident's specific Manage Orders page.
