preop
|
Used
to
indicate
that
a
service
is
to
be
performed
prior
to
a
scheduled
surgery.
When
ordering
a
service
and
using
the
pre-op
priority,
a
check
is
done
to
see
the
amount
of
time
that
must
be
allowed
for
performance
of
the
service.
When
the
order
is
placed,
a
message
can
be
generated
indicating
the
time
needed
for
the
service
so
that
it
is
not
ordered
in
conflict
with
a
scheduled
operation.
