What is the primary purpose of the Order Review tool?

The primary purpose of the Order Review tool is to allow healthcare providers to review and confirm orders. This tool is essential in ensuring that orders, such as prescriptions or tests, are accurately entered and validated before being processed. By enabling the review of orders, this tool helps to prevent errors, reduce misunderstandings, and enhance patient safety. It ensures that healthcare professionals can double-check the details of orders against patient needs and clinical guidelines, fostering better communication and accuracy in patient care.

In contrast, while managing patient flow, facilitating order customization, or generating discharge summaries are important functions within a healthcare system, they do not encapsulate the main role of the Order Review tool. The focus of the Order Review tool is specifically on the critical process of order verification by healthcare providers, which is fundamental in clinical settings.
