| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
The Consults package uses the ORDER URGENCY file,
101.42 to convert the orders urgency to a protocol value. The Abbreviation
field is used to determine which Protocol to use. The abbreviation is what is
sent to Consults in an HL7 message.
The use of the Protocol file for recording Urgency will be converted to using
the ORDER URGENCY file in a future patch. Rather than storing the protocol
pointer representing the Urgency, a pointer will be stored to the ORDER
URGENCY file.
Until the conversion, direct access is needed to the ABBREVIATION field in the
ORDER URGENCY file.
