directive modified bydir_mod_by

The unique identifier of the user, clinician, or system that last updated a patient care directive record. Supports audit trail requirements in clinical documentation by recording who made changes, ensuring accountability and traceability of directive modifications over time.

directive modified datedir_mod_dt

The calendar date on which a patient care directive record was most recently updated or amended. Used in clinical and legal workflows to determine the currency of a directive, support version control, and ensure compliance with periodic review and renewal requirements.

directive modified timedir_mod_tm

The timestamp indicating the exact time of day when a patient care directive record was last modified. Combined with directive modified date, this field provides a precise audit trail entry supporting clinical governance, compliance reporting, and dispute resolution in care documentation systems.

directive namedir_nm

The human-readable label or title assigned to a patient care directive, such as 'Do Not Resuscitate Order' or 'Advance Healthcare Directive.' Used in clinical documentation, patient record displays, and reporting interfaces to clearly identify the type and purpose of the directive.

directive notedir_nt

Free-text annotation or supplemental clinical commentary attached to a patient care directive record. Captures nuances, exceptions, or contextual details that structured data fields cannot fully represent, supporting clinical decision-making and providing additional guidance for care teams implementing the directive.

directive numberdir_nbr

A system-assigned or externally issued reference number uniquely identifying a specific patient care directive within an organization's clinical or administrative systems. Used for retrieval, cross-referencing, and tracking of directives across departments, encounters, and care episodes.

directive onset datedir_onset_dt

The date on which a patient care directive became clinically effective or was first activated, such as the date an advance directive was triggered by a qualifying medical condition. Distinct from the creation date, this field marks when the directive began governing actual care decisions.

directive oxygen saturationdir_o2sat

The blood oxygen saturation level specified as a threshold or target value within a patient care directive, such as minimum acceptable SpO2 levels in a respiratory care plan or ventilator management directive. Used to guide clinical interventions based on documented patient-specific or protocol-driven oxygen parameters.

directive paid amountdir_pd_amt

The dollar amount paid in connection with the processing or administration of a care directive, which may arise in legal, notarial, or administrative fee contexts. Captures financial transactions associated with directive issuance, renewal, or formal legal execution within healthcare administrative systems.

directive paid datedir_pd_dt

The date on which payment was received or processed in connection with a care directive administrative transaction. Used in healthcare administrative and financial systems to reconcile fees associated with directive execution, legal documentation services, or compliance-related processing activities.

directive parentdir_prnt

directive percentagedir_pct

A percentage value specified within a patient care directive, such as the proportion of care costs covered, a target clinical parameter expressed as a percentage, or a threshold for clinical escalation. Used in treatment protocols, financial authorizations, and care management directives requiring ratio-based clinical guidance.

directive perioddir_prd

The defined time interval or duration over which a patient care directive is valid and clinically active, such as a 30-day medication order window or an annual advance directive review period. Used to enforce directive expiration, trigger renewal workflows, and maintain temporal accuracy of active care instructions.

directive phonedir_ph

The telephone number associated with a clinical directive, used to contact the responsible party or care coordinator. Captured in EHR systems to support communication workflows when clarification or follow-up on care instructions is required.

directive preferred namedir_pref_nm

directive pricedir_prc

The monetary cost associated with executing a clinical directive, such as a procedure order or care instruction. Used in healthcare billing and utilization management systems to track direct costs tied to specific clinical orders and support financial reporting workflows.

directive primary indicatordir_prim_ind

directive prioritydir_prty

The urgency or importance ranking assigned to a clinical directive, indicating the order in which care instructions should be executed. Used in clinical workflow management systems to triage patient care tasks and ensure time-sensitive directives receive appropriate attention.

directive procedure datedir_proc_dt
