      Text to add: Enteral orders are distinguished from supplements because they have some unique attributes and typically include administration information whereas oral nutritional supplements may simply be supplied (e.g. home health or outpatient settings). In a simple case, the requestor may designate type of product, product name and the route of administration along with free text instructions without a having to complete the additional structured details.

      Comment:

      There is a parallel with medication orders for supplements. Would not usually have a separate field for enteral, but would rather give the route of the enteral feeding, ) as part of the order other parallels are with the frequency . Would be ideal to make them as parallel as possible. because in some systems supplements are dispensed by pharmacy.
