Home > FAQs > DOCLINE -- Placing a Request in Case of a Clinical Emergency |
NLM defines Urgent Patient Care as a clinical emergency.
Requests for articles needed in case of urgent patient care may be sent to NLM for expedited handling. NLM has a separate LIBID for receiving urgent patient care requests: MDULMF.
Urgent patient care requests are filled by NLM within two hours after receipt. The delivery methods for urgent patient care requests are Fax, E-mail, Web and ARIEL.
On the Routing Instructions screen:
Note: If you want the request to route only to NLM's clinical emergency service, select Deselect All to clear all routing checkboxes. Requests that NLM cannot supply will retire.
