If a doctor orders a test asap, this means these are repetitive orders that may be repeated the orders should be scheduled or initiated within 24 hours the orders should be followed immediately the orders should be scheduled or initiated within 4 hours

If a doctor orders a test ASAP it means the orders should be followed immediately. One example proving this is if the patient were to have a growth, or tumor that has the possibility of rupturing, they would need the scans right away so that they could figure out how much time they had before it ruptured.
