Which statement is true regarding Post-op Ordering in Epic?

The statement that PACU orders can be placed from the Intraop or Postop Navigators is the correct answer because it highlights the flexibility and integration of Epic's ordering system during the perioperative process. In the context of a patient's care following surgery, it is essential for the healthcare team to have the ability to place and manage orders efficiently whether the patient is in the intraoperative area or has already transitioned to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). This capability ensures that continuity of care is maintained, allowing for immediate response to the patient's needs as they emerge from anesthesia.

Other statements, such as those regarding medication auto-discontinuation or the requirement for discontinuing all active orders, do not accurately reflect the functionality intended in Epic's design for managing perioperative care. The focus of Epic’s system is to streamline and enhance the workflow process, which includes using existing navigating tools to facilitate order placements as needed in PACU. Additionally, the restriction implied by the last statement regarding the placing of only post-anesthesia orders in PACU does not capture the full scope of permitting a broader range of orders that the clinical team might need to initiate.
