acuity detailacu_dtl

Granular clinical or administrative information captured as part of a patient's condition severity assessment record. Provides supplemental structured or unstructured data points beyond the primary acuity code, supporting comprehensive documentation in care management, utilization review, and clinical analytics systems.

acuity discharge dateacu_dsch_dt

The date a patient was discharged from a facility or care setting in relation to an acuity or condition severity episode. Used in inpatient care management and utilization review systems to measure length of stay, evaluate discharge planning effectiveness, and assess acuity-to-discharge outcomes.

acuity due dateacu_due_dt

The target date by which a patient's acuity or condition severity reassessment must be completed according to clinical protocols or care management guidelines. Used to trigger workflow reminders and monitor compliance with reassessment schedules in care coordination and utilization management systems.

acuity durationacu_dur

The measured length of time a patient remains at a specific clinical acuity or condition severity level, used in inpatient and emergency settings to track how long resources and interventions are required for a given severity classification.

acuity emailacu_eml

The electronic mail address associated with a clinical acuity record or the responsible clinician managing a patient severity level, used for care coordination notifications and escalation communications within clinical workflow systems.

acuity emergency indicatoracu_emerg_ind

A binary flag identifying whether a patient's acuity or condition severity level meets emergency threshold criteria, triggering priority triage protocols, rapid response workflows, or escalated resource allocation in emergency and inpatient clinical settings.

acuity end dateacu_end_dt

The calendar date on which a patient's assigned clinical acuity or condition severity level was resolved, downgraded, or closed, marking the conclusion of the acuity episode and used to calculate care duration and severity transitions.

acuity end timeacu_end_tm

The precise timestamp at which a patient's clinical acuity or condition severity level was resolved or reclassified, enabling granular measurement of acuity episode duration and supporting clinical workload and staffing analysis.

acuity entered byacu_ent_by

The identifier of the clinician or authorized staff member who recorded the patient's acuity or condition severity level in the clinical system, supporting audit trail requirements and accountability for acuity assessments in EHR documentation.

acuity ethnicityacu_ethn

The patient's ethnic or cultural background recorded in association with an acuity assessment, used in population health analytics to identify disparities in condition severity distribution across demographic groups in clinical data reporting.

acuity expiration dateacu_exp_dt

The date on which a patient's current clinical acuity classification or severity designation is no longer valid and requires reassessment, ensuring that acuity-based care plans and resource allocations remain current and clinically accurate.

acuity external identifieracu_ext_id

A reference identifier assigned by an external system, such as a referring facility or interoperability platform, that uniquely identifies a patient acuity record, enabling cross-system tracking of severity classifications across integrated healthcare environments.

acuity faxacu_fax

The facsimile number associated with a clinical acuity record or the responsible care team, used to transmit acuity-related documentation, care escalation notices, and severity assessments between clinical facilities and departments.

acuity feeacu_fee

The service charge or cost associated with a specific clinical acuity level, reflecting the resource intensity and staffing requirements tied to a patient's condition severity, used in hospital billing and acuity-based reimbursement calculations.

acuity first nameacu_first_nm

The given name of the patient or clinician associated with a clinical acuity record, used to identify individuals within acuity management workflows and ensure accurate attribution of severity assessments in EHR and clinical data systems.

acuity flagacu_flg

A binary indicator marking whether a patient's acuity record meets a specific clinical condition or threshold, such as high severity or deterioration risk, used to trigger alerts, escalations, or priority routing within clinical decision support workflows.

acuity frequencyacu_freq

The rate at which a patient's clinical acuity or condition severity level is reassessed or monitored, defining the interval between evaluations and ensuring appropriate clinical oversight based on the patient's current condition in inpatient or emergency settings.

acuity full nameacu_full_nm

The complete name of the patient or clinician associated with a clinical acuity record, combining given and family name elements to provide unambiguous identification within acuity tracking, reporting, and care coordination workflows.

acuity genderacu_gndr

The patient's sex or gender identity recorded in association with a clinical acuity assessment, used in population health stratification to analyze severity level distributions across gender demographics and support equitable care delivery reporting.

acuity glucoseacu_gluc

The blood glucose measurement recorded as part of a patient's clinical acuity assessment, used to evaluate metabolic status and condition severity in diabetic, critical care, and emergency patients where glycemic control directly impacts acuity classification.
