Customizing and Editing Order Sets

Customizing and Editing Order Sets

To customize and edit order sets for your hospital or health system, select an order set from the content list and click the Edit link to open the order set in the Content Editor.

Order Sets are assigned version numbers once they are released. A released or retired order set cannot be edited without changing the version number. If you choose a released or retired order set for editing, you will be prompted to create a draft version of the order set, and a new version number will be assigned when that draft is released. See Versioning Order Sets for additional information.

To see a list of shortcut keys for the Content Editor, see Using Shortcut Keys.

This section provides information on performing the following tasks within the Content Editor:

Navigating the Content Editor

From the content list, select the content of interest and click the Edit link to open the Content Editor, shown below:


The left pane of the Content Editor displays the following menus:

  • Section Control Menu: Includes top-level sections of the content. Click any section to bring it into focus in the content grid. You can also delete any of the sections from this menu.
  • Commands Menu: Displays commands for interacting with the content in the content grid. The Commands Menu changes depending on whether you are in View Mode (Content Viewer) or Edit Mode (Content Editor). In general, the commands presented in this menu apply to the content. Instructions for accessing commands from this menu will be written as, for example, “Click Print View on the Commands Menu.”
  • Comments Control Menu: Shows review comments from ViewSpace. This menu is always available in the Content Editor. By default, this menu is not displayed in the Content Viewer. If you wish to display review comments in the Content Viewer, contact Zynx Health. Click any item in the Comments Control Menu to bring the item into focus in the content grid, edit the workspace, and open the comment(s) in a separate window.

The right pane of the Content Editor displays the content (order set or plan of care) in a content grid. It shows order items for individual Sections, such as Vital Signs, Activity, Nursing Orders, etc. The view is collapsed by default. To expand or collapse the view, do any of the following:

  • To fully expand the content and view all available order items, click Expand All on the Commands Menu on the left side of the screen. To return to the collapsed view, click Collapse All on the Commands Menu.
  • To expand an individual Section (for example, Medications), double-click or press the right arrow key anywhere on the line or click the icon next to the desired Section. To collapse an individual Section, double-click or press the left arrow key anywhere on the line, or click the icon.

The following icons appear next to each line item in the content grid and can be used to open the Workspace Editor:

  • The Edit button (): This button is available for each line item in the content grid. Click the Edit button to open the Workspace Editor.
  • Down-arrow button (): Click the arrow to the right of the Edit button to access a menu of commands to insert, delete, cut, or copy content, or to edit the selected item’s workspace. The available menu options are dependent on the item type. Instructions for accessing these menu commands will be written as, for example, “Click the arrow to the right of the Edit button and select Insert.” Select Insert or Edit to open the Workspace Editor.

The Workspace Editor opens at the bottom of the Content Editor, as shown below.

With the Workspace Editor opened, you can continue to scroll through the content grid. If you make a change in the Workspace Editor without saving it and then try to open another Workspace Editor, you will be prompted to save your changes. The Workspace Editor displays a Workspace, Notes, Tasks, and Performance Measures tabs, depending on the item. When inserting a new item, these tabs appear grayed out and are unavailable until edits to the Workspace tab are saved because the display depends on the item type.

  • In the content grid, inactive custom catalog terms and Zynx Health catalog terms appear in red with a dashed underline. In the Workspace Editor, inactive catalog terms appear in red in a dropdown list.

To maximize/minimize the Workspace Editor at any time, click the or icons in the upper left of the Workspace Editor. See Content Viewer/Editor Icons for an explanation of the icons that appear in the Content Editor.

Moving Items Within an Order Set

You can move items or Sections within an order set using a drag and drop operation. Follow these guidelines when moving items or Sections within an order set:

  • To move an item or Section to a new location, drop the item or Section immediately above the desired position.
  • To move a Section below a Section header so that it appears as a subsection within that Section, hold the shift key while dragging the item to a Section header, release the mouse button, and then release the shift key.

Copying and Pasting Items Within an Order Set

You can copy and paste sections or subsections, order items, drug order details, order item details, or bundles within an order set in the Content Editor, or you can copy items from an order set in the Viewer and then paste them into an order set in the Editor. To copy and paste within the Editor, complete the following steps:

  • For the item you wish to copy, click the arrow to the right of the Edit button and then click Copy, or select the item and press CTRL+C. If your selection has children associated with it, a dialog box appears, asking whether you wish to copy the children as well.
  • Click the arrow to the right of the Edit button in the row below which you want to paste the copied item and click Paste or select the item below which you want to paste the copied item and press CTRL+V.

  2. Open the other order set in the Editor, navigate to the appropriate location, and click the arrow to the right of the Edit button and select Paste or press CTRL+V. The copied item will be pasted below the item selected.

Inserting an Order Set

You can insert the content of a released order set inside another order set. The inserted content can only be modified within the order set into which it was inserted. When the original order set (i.e., the source order set) is updated, the changes will not be reflected in any of the order sets where the original was inserted. Only released order sets are available to be inserted. To insert an order set, complete the following steps:

  1. To insert the order set at the highest level, select Add Top Level Item. To insert the order set beneath a section, click the arrow to the right of the Edit button and select Insert or press CTRL+I.
  2. Select Content in the Workspace Editor.
  3. Click Browse to open the Insert Order Set dialog box. A tree-view of the order set folders appears on the left side of the dialog box. Click to expand a folder; click  to collapse a folder. Click a folder to view its released order sets on the right side of the dialog box.
  4. Navigate to the appropriate order set, select it, and click the OK button

  1. Click the Save button. (To minimize the Workspace Editor, click the Save & Hide button.)

Adding Linkable Content to an Order Set

Linkable content is any released content (order set or plan of care) that has been marked as linkable content in the Manager. (See Marking the Order Set as Linkable Content and Marking the Plan of Care as Linkable Content.)

Linkable content can be added to an order set. Although it cannot be modified within the order set, when the original linkable content is updated, the updates will appear in all the order sets in which the linkable content is housed.

When printed or exported: Linkable content will be fully expanded when printed or exported. All linkable content items will be displayed within the order set. If you insert linkable content as virtual linkable content, just the name or display name of the linkable content appears (as a placeholder) when the order set is printed or exported, instead of displaying the linkable content in its entirety.

  • If you plan to export your order sets to an EMR system, please check your integration manual for instructions on whether your system can handle linkable or virtual linkable content.

In View and Review mode: Linkable content will appear collapsed with an identifying icon (  for linkable content, and for virtual linkable content). Click on the linkable item to open the full linkable content in View mode in another window. To add linkable content, complete the following steps:

  1. To insert linkable or virtual linkable content in the Content Editor at the same level as top-level sections, select Add Top Level Item. Inserting the content in this manner will add the linkable content to the bottom of the order set by default. You can then drag and drop it to the desired location. To insert linkable content or virtual linkable content within a Section, click the arrow to the right of the Edit button and select Insert or press CTRL+I. Select Linkable Content from the Workspace Editor to display additional options.
  2. Click the Browse link to the right of the Map field. This action opens the Insert Linkable Order Set window so that you can search for linkable content to add. A tree-view structure appears on the left side. Click to expand a folder; click     to collapse a folder. Click a folder to view its contents on the right side. Only linkable or virtual linkable content will be presented.
  3. Navigate to the appropriate linkable order set, select it, and click the OK button to return to the Workspace Editor.
  4. Configure the workspace as necessary:
  • Select the Virtual Linkable check box if you wish to display this linkable content as virtual linkable content.
  • (optional) Type a name in the Display field for the linkable content. This is the name for the linkable content that will be displayed in the order set. If there is a display name and a linkable content name, only the display name will be used.
  • Click the View link to display the expanded linkable order set in the Viewer.
  • Click the Clear link to search for different linkable content.
  1. Click the Save button to submit the change.

Managing Linkable Items in an Order Set

When you release a new version of a linkable item (virtual or nonvirtual), any content in Draft or Review status containing the linkable is automatically updated. However, the linkable will not be updated if it appears in Released content. When you attempt to release linkable content that is contained within a Released order set, the Linked Content dialog box appears (shown below), with options for updating the Released content.

The Linked Content dialog box lists the Released content by type and indicates whether a new version of the content exists in Draft/Review status. Use this information to determine how to proceed.

  • If a new version of the content does not exist in Draft/Review status, select the Automatically Apply Change option or the Apply and Edit Change option from the dialog box. You can either leave the new content in Draft status or release it immediately, depending on where that content is in your review/approval process.
  • If a newer version of the content exists in Draft/Review status, select the Disregard Change option from the dialog box. Any content in Draft/Review status will automatically be updated when you release the new linkable content.
  • If you find that you need to do further research prior to making your selections and releasing the linkable, click on the Run Report button to generate an Excel spreadsheet populated with the information from the dialog box.

To make your selections, click the radio button in the desired column for the appropriate content. If you click Select all below, all radio buttons in that column will be selected.

If you click the Cancel button or close the dialog box by clicking the x in the upper right-hand corner of the dialog box, the dialog box will close, and the linkable content will not be released.

  1. Select the format for saving and printing your file and click the Go button. The following formats are available:
  • Review Report V.1, Text: Lists order set header information and all the reviews for the order set in a text file. Provides a way to see all the reviews for an order set without opening the Content Manager and scrolling through all the order set review notes. Can be opened in WordPad or Notepad.
  • Standard HTML V.1, HTML: Saves the order set as an HTML page that can be opened by a Web browser. Order items have functional check boxes, so you can set default items by selecting or deselecting these check boxes. You can click Evidence links to access Evidence pages that open in a Web browser. You can also see which items have a performance measure associated with them. Item details are displayed on the same line as the order to which they apply.
  • Standard HTML V.2, HTML: Saves the order set as an HTML page that can be opened by a Web browser. Order items have nonfunctional grey check boxes. You can click Evidence links to access Evidence pages that open in a Web browser. You can also see which items have a performance measure associated with them. Item details are displayed on the same line as the order to which they apply
  • Standard HTML V.3, HTML: Saves the order set as an HTML page that can be opened by a Web browser. Order items have nonfunctional blue check boxes. You can click Evidence links to access Evidence pages that open in a Web browser. You can also see which items have a performance measure associated with them. Item details are displayed below the order to which they apply. The Standard HTML V.3 format is very similar to the Standard HTML V.1 format. The difference is that Standard HTML V.3 prints each order sentence on its own line, so it will look the same as it does in AuthorSpace.
  • Standard RTF V.1, RTF: Saves the order set as a rich text format (RTF) file that can be opened in Word or an RTF editor; drug order details appear on the same line as the medication.
  • Standard RTF (Edit View) V.2, RTF: Saves the order set as a rich text format (RTF) file that can be opened in Word or an RTF editor; drug order details appear on a separate line from the medication.
  • Standard Text V.1, Text: Saves the order set to a text file that can be opened in WordPad or Notepad.
  • Standard XLS V.1, XLS: Saves the order set in a spreadsheet that can be opened in Excel. Any internal notes or tasks associated with an order set item or Section are also saved to the spreadsheet.

Note: Only order sets with a print template applied can be previewed in an editable Preview Window.

You can save the file to print later, open and print the order set, or cancel the action.
