finding categoryfndg_cat

A high-level classification grouping that organizes clinical findings by type, such as vital signs, laboratory results, imaging, or physical examination observations. Used to filter, route, and aggregate findings across clinical workflows and population health reporting systems.

finding chief complaintfndg_cc

The primary symptom or concern reported by the patient that prompted the clinical encounter, as documented in the finding record. Drives clinical decision support, triage prioritization, and diagnostic coding workflows in EHR and care management systems.

finding childfndg_chld

Identifies a subordinate or dependent clinical finding linked to a parent finding in a hierarchical relationship. Supports structured documentation of complex conditions where multiple related observations are grouped, such as compound diagnoses or multi-component assessment results.

finding cityfndg_city

The city or municipality associated with the location where a clinical finding was recorded or the address context of the finding encounter. Used in geographic analysis, population health stratification, and care coordination workflows to support regional reporting.

finding classfndg_cls

A structured classification tier assigned to a clinical finding that distinguishes its type or origin, such as problem, diagnosis, symptom, or observation. Used to govern clinical workflows, reporting logic, and interoperability mapping across healthcare information systems.

finding codefndg_cd

finding created byfndg_crtd_by

The unique identifier of the user, clinician, or system that originally created the clinical finding record. Used in audit trails, data provenance tracking, and accountability workflows to establish responsibility for clinical documentation within health information systems.

finding created datefndg_crtd_dt

The calendar date on which a clinical finding record was first entered into the health information system. Distinct from the finding date itself, this field supports data governance, audit logging, and retrospective analysis of documentation timeliness and record integrity.

finding created timefndg_crtd_tm

The precise time at which a clinical finding record was initially entered into the health information system. Combined with the created date, it provides a full timestamp for audit trail purposes, workflow sequencing, and clinical documentation compliance tracking.

finding creatininefndg_cr

The serum or urine creatinine measurement recorded as part of a clinical finding, used to evaluate kidney filtration function. A critical biomarker for diagnosing and staging chronic kidney disease, monitoring nephrotoxic medication safety, and assessing renal status in clinical data systems.
