1. A method in a clinical computing environment for verifying authority to modify at least one clinical order, the method comprising:

  • receiving, through a first computing process, the at least one clinical order, the at least one clinical order having components that are administered in two or more phases, wherein a phase is a sub-plan within a healthcare plan, wherein individual phases are separated from other phases by at least one day; and

    wherein a healthcare plan includes multiple orders for the treatment of a particular ailment in a patient;

    associating, through a second computing process, a plurality of the components to form a cross-phase group, the plurality of the components including at least a component associated with a first phase and a component associated with a second phase, wherein each of the components in the cross-phase group includes a common attribute, wherein the common attribute is a clinical detail related to administration of the at least one clinical order to the patient, and wherein the first phase and the second phase occur at least one day apart;

    receiving, through a third computing process, a user indication to modify the common attribute of the component associated with the first phase; and

    determining, through a fourth computing process, whether a user from whom the user indication is received has the authority to modify the common attribute of the component associated with the first phase; and

    modifying, through a fifth computing process and in response to the user indication, the common attribute of all components in the cross-phase group in the same way, wherein the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth computing processes are performed on one or more computing devices.
