An urgency status is defined as the priority given to each laboratory test, or how quickly that test must be performed by
laboratory personnel, based on site-specific criteria. This file contains eight pre-supplied urgencies: STAT,ASAP,PRE-OP,CALL
RESULT,ADMIT,OUTPATIENT,PURPLE TRIANGLE (or service-connected disability) and ROUTINE, each assigned a numerical priority, with '1'
for 'STAT' being highest priority, and '9' for 'ROUTINE' being the lowest priority.
NOTE: Workload logic uses a new class of urgencies which are prefixed with 'WKL-'. These urgencies are not selectable by the user.
Also WKL- prevents non- lab users from seeing these tests. These urgencies are used to calculate LMIP data only.
These urgencies begin with internal entry numbers of >49 and are assigned by the verification process for LMIP data calculation.

DESCRIPTION:
If the Lab may collect a sample with this urgency, this field must contain a YES entry.
62.05,2 WORKLOAD ONLY 0;3 SET
'1' FOR YES;
LAST EDITED: MAR 13, 1991
DESCRIPTION: This field should only be set to yes for workload (WKL) urgency. This urgency is used only with
workload module. Only internal file number 50 and greater should have this field set to yes.
Internal file number of 49 and below should be set to no if they exist.
TECHNICAL DESCR: This field is used to screen the user from selecting the urgency WORKLOAD (WKL) for a test.
Internal file number 50 (WORKLOAD) is used with certain functions of workload recording.
DIC("S")="I '$P(^(0),U,3)" Should be used for lookup on this file.
This field is apart of V5.2 of LAB.
