Concepts

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/ActPriority defines the following codes in an undefined hierarchy:

LvlCodeDisplayDefinitionNot Selectable
1A ASAPAs soon as possible, next highest priority after stat.false
1CR callback resultsFiller should contact the placer as soon as results are available, even for preliminary results. (Was "C" in HL7 verion 2.3's reporting priority.)false
1CS callback for schedulingFiller should contact the placer (or target) to schedule the service. (Was "C" in HL7 version 2.3's TQ-priority component.)false
2\u00a0\u00a0CSP callback placer for schedulingFiller should contact the placer to schedule the service. (Was "C" in HL7 version 2.3's TQ-priority component.)false
2\u00a0\u00a0CSR contact recipient for schedulingFiller should contact the service recipient (target) to schedule the service. (Was "C" in HL7 version 2.3's TQ-priority component.)false
1EL electiveBeneficial to the patient but not essential for survival.false
1EM emergencyAn unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for immediate action.false
1P preopUsed to indicate that a service is to be performed prior to a scheduled surgery. When ordering a service and using the pre-op priority, a check is done to see the amount of time that must be allowed for performance of the service. When the order is placed, a message can be generated indicating the time needed for the service so that it is not ordered in conflict with a scheduled operation.false
1PRN as neededAn "as needed" order should be accompanied by a description of what constitutes a need. This description is represented by an observation service predicate as a precondition.false
1R routineRoutine service, do at usual work hours.false
1RR rush reportingA report should be prepared and sent as quickly as possible.false
1S statWith highest priority (e.g. emergency).false
1T timing criticalIt is critical to come as close as possible to the requested time (e.g. for a through antimicrobial level).false
1UD use as directedDrug is to be used as directed by the prescriber.false
1UR urgentCalls for prompt action.false
