      You’re not understanding, or you’re arguing in bad faith. This is the system that doctors use to send prescriptions electronically to pharmacists so that the patient can pick up the medication.

      I think you’re misunderstanding the word “order.” They mean order like “Dr’s Orders” not like the Dr is generating requests to the drug warehouse.

      They’re using “order” as a command, not physically buying medication. Outpatient pharmacies receive the physician’s order as a prescription, but in hospitals and clinics they’re just referred to as “orders” and could include everything from medication to diet, scheduled treatments, physical activity, etc.
