standing orders
Ongoing directive set
Standing orders are instructions that remain in effect until explicitly changed or canceled.
In military and institutional contexts, they govern routine operations without requiring repeated authorization: Standing orders require all visitors to sign in at the front desk.
In medicine, standing orders allow nurses to administer certain treatments without obtaining a new prescription each time.
In banking, a standing order is a recurring automatic payment—similar to what Americans call automatic bill pay.
