Description | Identifies the time unit of measure (UOM) used to calculate the rate at which the pharmaceutical/treatment is to be administered. This field is defined as conditional because it is required when the ordered substance is to be administered continuously at a prescribed rate (for example, certain IVs). For example, if the "give amount/units" are 300 ml and the "give per" time unit is hours, the rate is 300ml/hr and the duration of this dose is 1 hour. Thus the give amount and give per time unit define the duration of the service. For Example: Seconds Minutes Hours Days Weeks Months Indefinitely |
