Standing order templates and implementation

Standing order templates can be found on the Southern HealthPathways site.  These are templates, not authorised or issued standing orders.

It is the responsibility of the issuer and healthcare professional to review the template and confirm the clinical accuracy before formalising as an authorised or issued standing order. Use clinical discretion and modify as needed to comply with the Standing Order Guidelines | Ministry of Health NZ.

Details outlining how to implement standing orders in a practice are included on the Southern HealthPathways site, including a practice standing orders template.
