Clear definitions and differentiation of STAT, NOW, One dose orders

Dears Medication Safety Officers
we noticed that some prescribes are missus STAT orders or they are miss-understanding the differences between STAT, NOW and one dose.
As result i want to see if you have clear definitions with time frames.
