About the Feature

Order sets is a feature in the Medications tab of Bahmni's Clinical module. Using Order Sets, the clinicians can order a set of drugs/medications together. An order set be added, edited, stopped or refilled using the Treatments tab. This feature has been designed to save the users time and effort, by ordering a set of drugs with predefined dosages, routes and frequencies.
