LvlCodeDisplayDefinition
1 A ASAP As soon as possible, next highest priority after stat.
1 CR callback results Filler should contact the placer as soon as results are available, even for preliminary results. (Was "C" in HL7 version 2.3's reporting priority.)
1 CS callback for scheduling Filler should contact the placer (or target) to schedule the service. (Was "C" in HL7 version 2.3's TQ-priority component.)
2   CSP callback placer for scheduling Filler should contact the placer to schedule the service. (Was "C" in HL7 version 2.3's TQ-priority component.)
2   CSR contact recipient for scheduling Filler should contact the service recipient (target) to schedule the service. (Was "C" in HL7 version 2.3's TQ-priority component.)
1 EL elective Beneficial to the patient but not essential for survival.
1 EM emergency An unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for immediate action.
1 P preop Used 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.
1 PRN as needed An "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.
1 R routine Routine service, do at usual work hours.
1 RR rush reporting A report should be prepared and sent as quickly as possible.
1 S stat With highest priority (e.g., emergency).
1 T timing critical It is critical to come as close as possible to the requested time (e.g., for a through antimicrobial level).
1 UD use as directed Drug is to be used as directed by the prescriber.
1 UR urgent Calls for prompt action.
