# Outpatient Meals

Outpatient Recurring Meals

Recurring meals for outpatients might be ordered if a patient comes to a clinic regularly for treatment during meal times.

Special Meals

Users order special meals for a meal that must be ordered today and is a one-time occurrence instead of a recurring meal.

Outpatient Tubefeeding Diet Orders

Outpatient tubefeeding orders must be associated with a recurring meal. If no recurring meal has been ordered for the selected patient, CPRS displays a message informing the user and the user cannot order tubefeeding.

Early / Late Tray Outpatient Meal Order

Outpatient early/late tray orders must be associated with a recurring meal. If no recurring meal has been ordered for the selected patient, CPRS displays a message informing the user and the user cannot order the early/late tray.
