1	CS	callback for scheduling	Filler should contact the placer (or target) to schedule the service. (Was "C" in HL7 version 2.3's TQ-priority component.)	16871	active
2	CSP	callback placer for scheduling	Filler should contact the placer to schedule the service. (Was "C" in HL7 version 2.3's TQ-priority component.)	16872	active
