The Transition of Care order in Epic will no longer be available starting Friday, Nov. 6. Please discontinue use now and remove it from any personal or specialty order sets or favorites lists where it may still appear.
This order is no longer routinely processed, as most facilities now have access to patient information through Care Everywhere or Epic Care Link.
When additional documentation needs to be shared, use the Route button in Chart Review to send chart notes directly to receiving providers or facilities. See tipsheet for detailed instructions (Salem Health intranet access required).
Outside facilities may also contact Health Information Management directly to request records:
The Transition of Care order is currently used infrequently, and we anticipate minimal impact to provider workflows following its retirement.
Questions about change? Email Holly Brown, HIM Operations Manager. Need assistance with routing patient information? Call the Help Desk at 503-814-HELP (4357).
Thank you for your understanding and partnership.
