What is the difference between Order Entry and Order Sets in Epic ASAP?

Order Entry is manual entry of individual orders; Order Sets are prebuilt bundles of orders for a condition

In Epic ASAP, the idea is to distinguish placing single orders from using predefined care pathways. Order Entry means manually entering one order at a time—you tailor each item individually, such as a specific medication dose, a particular lab test, or a single therapy. Order Sets are prebuilt bundles of multiple orders organized for a condition or clinical pathway; with one action you apply the entire set to a patient, loading a standardized group of orders (across medications, labs, imaging, and other steps) that reflect recommended practice for that scenario. This approach speeds up care, promotes consistency, and helps ensure guideline-aligned treatment, while you can review and adjust items within the set as needed.

Order Sets are manual entries of orders; Order Entry is auto-generated

Order Entry is only for inpatient use; Order Sets are outpatient
