Managing Linkable Items in a Plan of Care

When you release a new version of a linkable item (virtual or nonvirtual), any content in Draft or Review status containing the linkable is automatically updated. However, the linkable will not be updated if it appears in Released content. When you attempt to release linkable content that is contained within a Released order set, the Linked Content dialog box appears (shown below), with options for updating the Released content.

The Linked Content dialog box lists the Released content by type and indicates whether a new version of the content exists in Draft/Review status. Use this information to determine how to proceed.

• If a new version of the content does not exist in Draft/Review status, select the Automatically Apply Change option or the Apply and Edit Change option from the dialog box. You can either leave the new content in Draft status or release it immediately, depending on where that particular content is in your review/approval process.
• If a newer version of the content exists in Draft/Review status, select the Disregard Change option from the dialog box. Any content in Draft/Review status will automatically be updated when you release the new linkable content.
• If you find that you need to do further research prior to making your selections and releasing the linkable, click on the Run Report button to generate an Excel spreadsheet populated with the information from the dialog box.

To make your selections, click the radio button in the desired column for the appropriate content. If you click Select all below, all radio buttons in that column will be selected.

If you click the Cancel button or close the dialog box by clicking the X in the upper right-hand corner of the dialog box, the dialog box will close and the linkable content will not be released.
