Re: Physician orders section p8?
According to the definition, p3-205...
"Physician Orders - Includes written, telephone, fax, or consultation orders for new or altered treatment.
Does NOT include standard admission orders, return admission orders, renewal orders, or clarifying orders without changes.
Orders written on the day of admission as a result of an unexpected change/deterioration in condition or injury are considered as
new or altered treatment orders and should be counted as a day with order changes."
