VO allowed here for emergencies but LIP needs to enter the order afterwards and
the RN is supposed to go back and chart the med after. I don't have a good
method to audit this other than manual review and chart abstraction so I only
do random audits of the 2 controlled drugs we have on override.

Good Morning, All,
A member asked us the following:
What is your process for entering verbal orders that might be used during an
urgent situation (not codes, but other emergency situations like perhaps a
psychiatric episode)?
- Provider enters the order into the medical record after the emergency is over
- Should the provider not enter the order into the electronic medical record,
then the nurse who removed the drug from the automated dispensing cabinet on
override, is obligated to enter the verbal order and have that order go to the
providers queue for approval
- Any other processes?
Thank you, in advance!
