How about enter the original, 14-day span, set it to deactivate at the end of the 14th day AND set the reactivate date for the start of the next cycle, so-on-and-so-forth... though I'm not sure if this is any better than Jeff's suggestion, below. Good luck!

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharon Phelps Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 11:03 AM To: Meditech-L (E-mail) Subject: [MEDITECH-L] PHA Directions - 14 days on, 14 days off Hi,
We have a medication order to be given daily for two weeks every month for a long term care resident. Short of creating 14 separate daily orders, is there a better way to schedule this medication? We'd like something that does not require Pharmacy intervention each month to restart the 14 day cycle or, if that's not possible, something that will automatically remind the Pharmacy staff to renew this order.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
