More in our FAQ, or ask our team.
How long should an order stay open before it's flagged?
That depends on the procedure or test and is set by your practice. Good tools let you set a grace period per order type and skip patients already scheduled.
How is procedure leakage different from a canceled procedure?
A canceled procedure is one form of procedure leakage. Procedure leakage is a procedure or test a provider ordered that never happened: never scheduled, canceled without a new date, or scheduled and never completed. A cancellation counts only when no new date follows; see canceled procedure recovery.
