Maintaining sequence order for drug orders

Development

Hi,

cc @dkayiwa

I’m looking for a way to enforce “Drug Order Sequence Management” in custom frontend, we are using platform 2.5.10. I am putting it here as this question is related/same as in this thread.

Here is problem statement, when providers prescribe a series of 6–8 meds in a specific order, everything looks great—until they edit, renew, or change brand/strength/dosage. At that point the frontend re-sorts the list and confuses providers who expect their original sequence to stick. Here goal is to preserve the exact prescription order through every step of the order lifecycle (create, edit, renew, brand-change, etc.) so that providers don’t lose context. this thread suggests using OrderGroup.

  1. Is OrderGroup the recommended approach today? or there is better approach?
  2. Any guidance on OrderGroup primary use cases and design rationale
  3. Why does it require an “orderset” definition? I can’t find up-to-date docs on this and would love any pointers or examples. Thanks in advance!
