Hello, Everyone.
I have a couple of questions that I am hoping you can confirm, as I am being given mixed answers.
1) Are orders required for injections administered in the office (such as Depo-Medrol) or is standard documentation of the injections in the notes sufficient?
2) Who may enter the orders for injections in the EMR system and is there a time limit? (For instance, could these be entered and/or corrected by a transcriptionist afterwards if the doctor documents the injection in the note but either fails to enter the order or accidentally enters an order with erroneous information?)
As always, thank you in advance!
