1R routine Routine service, do at usual work hours.
1RR rush reporting A report should be prepared and sent as quickly as possible.
1S stat With highest priority (e.g., emergency).
1T timing critical It is critical to come as close as possible to the requested time (e.g., for a through antimicrobial level).
