03 /The authority script detour

Right now, authority scripts take you away from care to do admin

The script is in Best Practice. The approval is not. There are two ways to get it.

In the consult
Authority script needed. Consult paused.
Back to the patient
Option ADo it online, through HPOS
Times out in 5 minutes. Saves nothing.
Option BOr call the authority line
However long it takes.
Either way, the consult has stopped, your patient is waiting, and the next authority script starts it all over again.There is a shorter way ↓
