  Key Concepts: 
  Order type is a feature of the IS-HMED Clinical System that allows users to define different types of orders for different types of services. It is used to differentiate between different types of orders, such as laboratory tests, medications, and procedures. Order types can also be used to define the order entry process, such as the order entry form and the order entry workflow. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Order type is used to define the order entry process in the IS-HMED Clinical System. To create an order type, users must first define the order entry form and workflow. Once this is done, users can then assign an order type to each service they wish to offer. This will allow users to easily differentiate between different types of orders and ensure that the correct order entry process is followed for each service. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an order type, it is important to consider how it will be used in practice. For example, if a service requires multiple steps in the order entry process, it may be beneficial to create a separate order type for each step. This will ensure that all steps are completed correctly and that no steps are missed.
