***NOTE*** When ordering medications with an ODD Schedule,
DO NOT enter a time into the "ADMIN TIMES:" prompt when placing an
order within the Inpatient Order Entry [PSJ OE] option.
BCMA will automatically calculate the administration time to the

administration time to display to the nearest hour, edit the
"START DATE/TIME:" prompt field to be on the hour.
For example if the start time is at 0837 for a Q5H, the
administration times will be at 0837, and at 1337. To display the
order on the VDL on the hour, edit the start time to be at 0800.
