Components: <repeat pattern (IS)> ^ <explicit time interval (ST)>
Definition: This field contains the interval between repeating appointments. The default setting indicates that the appointment should occur once, when the component is not valued. The definition of this field is equivalent to the definition of the Interval component of the Quantity/Timing field given in the Order Entry chapter (Chapter 4), Section 4.4.2 "Interval component (CM)."
The first component is defined by user-defined table 0335 - Repeat pattern. See Section 4.4.2.1 "Repeat pattern," for further details.
The second component explicitly lists the actual times referenced by the code in the first subcomponent, in the following format: HHMM,HHMM,HHMM,. This second subcomponent will be used to clarify the first subcomponent in cases where the actual administration times vary within an institution. See Section 4.4.2.2, "Explicit time interval subcomponent," for further details.
