Differentiating OPM orders


Hey all!

Please see attached for a tip sheet on differentiating Outpatient Medical 
(OPM) orders from Inpatient orders.  It includes recommended actions to take 
if you encounter these orders during inpatient verification.

Thank you very much to Hannah and Wade for their assistance.

Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns.
