Pharmacy Order Type
2020-01-06
Definition: The Pharmacy Order Type field defines the general category of pharmacy order which may be used to determine the processing path the order will take. Refer to HL7 Table 0480 - Pharmacy Order Types in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for valid values.
This field may also be used for grouping of related orders for processing and/or reports. For example, Medication Administration Records (MARs) often group large volume solutions, medications and small volume solutions differently based upon site-specific workflow.
