Clinical

The clinical or administrative explanation for why a mammogram was ordered, performed, or not completed. Captures indications such as routine screening, diagnostic follow-up, or patient refusal, supporting care gap closure workflows and quality measure documentation in managed care.

The date a mammogram report, result, or imaging record was received by the health plan, care management team, or referring provider. Used in HEDIS measure tracking and care coordination workflows to confirm screening completion and close preventive care gaps within measurement periods.

An external identifier or pointer linking a mammogram record to a related document, prior study, radiology order, or claims encounter. Supports longitudinal imaging history retrieval, prior authorization workflows, and cross-system data reconciliation in clinical and administrative platforms.

The date on which a mammogram-related finding, abnormality, or follow-up requirement was resolved or closed. Used in care management systems to track disposition of BI-RADS 0, 4, or 5 findings and ensure members receive appropriate diagnostic follow-up within recommended timeframes.

Documents the patient's breathing rate or respiratory status recorded during or in association with a mammogram encounter. Relevant in clinical settings where patient vitals are captured alongside imaging procedures, supporting comprehensive encounter documentation and anesthesia or sedation monitoring records.

The clinical outcome or finding documented following a mammogram examination, such as a BI-RADS category, presence of a mass, calcifications, or a normal finding. Drives downstream care decisions, follow-up scheduling, and quality measure compliance reporting in EHR and health plan systems.

Tracks the iteration or version number of an amended mammogram report or updated screening record. Used in radiology information systems and clinical data warehouses to maintain an accurate audit trail when radiologist interpretations are corrected or supplemented after initial documentation.

The assessed breast cancer risk level associated with a patient, informing mammogram screening frequency and modality recommendations. Derived from factors such as BRCA mutation status, family history, and Tyrer-Cuzick scores, and used in care management and preventive health planning workflows.

Identifies the care delivery pathway through which a mammogram was accessed, such as mobile screening unit, outpatient radiology, or telehealth referral. Used in population health analytics to evaluate access equity, network utilization patterns, and care gap closure effectiveness across service channels.

A numeric value summarizing the clinical assessment of a mammogram, most commonly the ACR BI-RADS score assigned by a radiologist. Used to stratify findings from 0 (incomplete) to 6 (known malignancy), directing follow-up care protocols and supporting quality reporting in breast health programs.

The sequential order number assigned to a mammogram within a series of breast imaging studies for a patient. Used in radiology and EHR systems to organize longitudinal screening history, ensuring correct chronological retrieval and comparison of prior imaging during radiologist interpretation.

Indicates the clinical seriousness of a mammogram finding, reflecting the degree of abnormality identified during breast imaging interpretation. Informs urgency of follow-up care, supports risk stratification in care management programs, and aligns with BI-RADS categories for standardized communication of findings.

Records the biological sex of the patient associated with a mammogram record, used to apply appropriate clinical guidelines and quality measure denominators. Relevant in HEDIS breast cancer screening measures, which define eligible populations based on sex and age criteria within the measurement year.

Identifies the originating system, facility, or data feed from which a mammogram record was received, such as a radiology center, health plan claims feed, or external lab interface. Supports data provenance tracking, deduplication logic, and source reconciliation in clinical and administrative data warehouses.

The calendar date on which a mammogram screening or diagnostic imaging procedure began. Used in claims processing, care gap measurement, and HEDIS compliance tracking to confirm service delivery occurred within the required measurement period for breast cancer screening quality metrics.

The specific time at which a mammogram procedure was initiated during a patient encounter. Captured in radiology and scheduling systems to support workflow management, procedure duration calculations, and clinical documentation accuracy for imaging services performed in outpatient or mobile screening settings.

The geographic state or province associated with a mammogram record, typically representing the location where the breast imaging service was performed or where the ordering facility is situated. Used in population health tracking and regional screening compliance reporting.

The current processing or clinical status of a mammogram encounter, such as scheduled, completed, results pending, or abnormal follow-up required. Drives workflow routing in breast imaging programs and supports quality measure tracking for preventive screening compliance.

A data field likely misclassified in this context, as strength typically refers to drug concentration rather than breast imaging attributes. If applicable, may reference imaging intensity or compression force settings documented during mammographic acquisition for technical quality review.

A partial financial or utilization sum associated with mammogram services, representing an intermediate calculation before final totals are applied. Used in claims adjudication and cost reporting to break down charges by service component within a breast imaging episode.
