The issue is due to a configuration error.The configuration of the standard orders is restricted to a special patient type.For a standard order of ambisome there was a duplicate that did not have patient type "exclusion" configured.The customer noticed that in the configuration editor there were two orders of ambisome, one with patient type exclusion and one without patient type exclusion, both existed in the configuration dated (b)(6)2017.The stored time of both rows are (b)(6)2010 and (b)(6)2010.That indicated these data was there since 2010.This resulted in both orders having the same order labels but having different formulations.A severely ill patient received an under dose of the antimicrobial, ambisome, due to the clinicians' selection of the duplicate/incorrect standard order thus presenting a potential for septicemia.The root cause of the redundant standard orders is unknown due to the bad data in the configuration editor that was there since feb 2010.
