ORU^R40
ORU - Unsolicited Report Alarm
The R40 trigger event is used for observation reports that include an alertable condition, i.e., for which some timely human or application intervention in patient care may be indicated by the findings. The ORA^R41 provides the application level response to the ORU^R40.
The ORU^R40 message is outside of the order-fulfilling cycle of the ORU and OUL messages with other trigger events, and is supplemental to those order-fulfilling observations. As such, the results conveyed in the ORU^R40 do not replace, edit, or override the results of messages with other trigger events.
