Under normal circumstances, the temporary medical order is valid for a short period of time, within 24 hours, and is generally only executed once.

Some temporary medical orders have limited execution time, such as surgery, examination, X-ray photography, consultation and various special examinations, etc., and some need to be executed immediately.

Legal basis: "Regulations on the Management of Medical Institutions" Article 41 1. Temporary medical orders are valid within 24 hours and should be executed within a short period of time. Unless otherwise specified, they are only valid once. “Immediate” orders should be completed immediately.
