Schedule Type
Codes include: O - one time (i.e., STAT - only once), P - PRN (as needed; no set administration times). C- continuous (given continuously for the life of the order; usually with set administration times). R - fill on request (used for items that are not automatically put in the cart - but are filled on the nurse’s request. These can be multidose items (e.g., eye wash, kept for use by one patient and is filled on request when the supply is exhausted)). And OC - on call (one time with no specific time to be given, i.e., 1/2 hour before surgery).
