# Orders

You can use Air to create and track different types of clinical orders from a global practice view or for a single patient.

## What you can order

Orders in Air include:

* **Outbound Referrals**
* **Imaging**
* **Labs**
* **DME**
* **Custom Orders**

Order types share common fields such as **Patient**, **Provider**, and **Diagnosis Codes**, and each type can include additional type-specific fields.

## Access the Orders page

### Global view: EHR -> Orders

### FAQ

<Accordion title="Should I use the global Orders page or the patient Orders page?">
  Use **EHR -> Orders** when you need a practice-wide queue across patients. Use **Patient Profile -> Orders** when you are actively working on one patient and want to stay in that chart context.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Do all order types use the same fields?">
  Not exactly. All order types share core fields such as **Patient**, **Provider**, and **Diagnosis Codes**, but each type can include additional fields based on the workflow.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can I create orders from either access path?">
  Yes. You can create orders from both the global Orders view and the patient-specific Orders view.
