A Wrong-Patient Retract-and-Reorder (Wrong Patient-RAR) event occurs when an order is placed on a patient within an EHR, is retracted within 10 minutes, and then the same clinician places the same order on a different patient within the next 10 minutes. A Wrong-Patient Retract-and-Reorder rate is calculated by dividing Wrong Patient-RAR events by total orders examined.

Exclusions
System-generated orders are excluded from the denominator. In some EHR systems, in addition to orders placed by clinicians, some orders are generated automatically by the EHR or other ancillary systems (e.g., the pharmacy system, the lab system, or other “interfaces”). Since these orders are not placed by an ordering clinician, they are not included in the denominator.
