Table 0485: Extended Priority Codes
Table of codes describing the urgency of a request carried in an order. See the Comment/Usage Note in the table below, as the table contains both precoordinated codes that may be used in an HL7 field or component and also explanatory patterns illustrating the syntax used to construct expressions using the codes and other modifiers.

User-defined (site-defined): HL7 suggests these values, and each site may use its own. PipeHat notes codes outside this list as information, not errors.

FHIR codes from the HL7 v2-to-FHIR concept map ExtendedPriorityCodes (unconditional mappings only).
Where it's used
| Element | Name | FHIR (v2-to-FHIR mapping) |
|---|---|---|
TQ1-9 | Priority | MedicationRequest.priority ServiceRequest.priority |
Elements with a dot (such as CX.5) are data type components, used wherever that data type appears.
