  • receiving a request to display an order set for a patient, wherein the order set comprises a first, second and third selectable orders, as well as required orders, and wherein the required orders are not selectable and are placed by default when the order set is placed;

    determining at the same time, by a first computing process, that the third selectable order is not to be displayed until the required orders and at least one of the first selectable order and the second selectable order have been placed in the system, wherein placing the order in the system makes the order active in the system triggering related billing and workload events within the system;

    displaying the first and second selectable orders and not the third selectable order;

    receiving selection of the first selectable order to be placed for the order set and determining that the second selectable order was not selected to be placed;

    placing by a second computing process, the required orders and the first selectable order selected for the order set establishing a formal presence of the required orders and the first selectable order in a workflow and triggering billing-related and clinical events; and

    displaying, after the required orders and the first selectable order have been placed, the second selectable order which was not selected to be placed and the third selectable order, wherein displaying the second selectable order again provides another opportunity for the second selectable order to be selected and placed, and wherein the third selectable order is displayed for the first time only after the required orders and at least one of the first selectable order and the second selectable order have been placed,and wherein the first and second computing processes are performed by one or more computing devices.
