<p class="MsoNormal">This required process significantly changes affected orders. Because of this, any saved orders (preference lists) that you have made will need to be updated. Orders for imaging affected (example CT and MRI but not chest x-rays, etc). that
were saved in preference lists will be set back to their base version. Thus, a saved CT will still be there but none of the options you saved will remain. You will need to update these preference list orders to meet your ordering needs after the go-live on
Sept 13. </p>
