In the Custom Medications window, navigate to the Order Sets tab. A list of order sets that have been added for the organization will appear, with details about when each order set was created and last modified. To add a new order set to the list, click Add Order Set.

Once a medication order set has been created, it can be added to a patient’s medication profile. To add an order set to a patient’s medication profile, open the patient’s medication profile by selecting Medication under the Patients tab or from the Quick Links menu in the patient’s chart.
In the patient’s medication profile, click Update Medications to select or create a physician order for the new medications. Click Add Order Set to add a medication order set to the patient’s profile.
In the Add Order Set window, select an order set and enter a start date and discontinue date. The physician will populate automatically based on the physician selected on the order.
Once an order set is selected from the Order Set menu, a list of medications in the order set will appear. Users can edit or delete medications before adding them to the patient’s profile, based on any specifications given by the physician. Click Add Medications to add the list of medications to the patient’s medication profile.
The medications will appear in the patient’s active medications list and in the patient’s eMAR. Medications added through an order set will appear with an icon, so users can quickly identify which medications were added through a medication order set.
