obstetric primary indicatorob_prim_ind

A flag identifying whether an obstetric diagnosis, procedure, or care episode is designated as the primary focus of a maternal health encounter. Used in clinical documentation and claims to distinguish principal obstetric conditions from secondary diagnoses during pregnancy, delivery, or postpartum care.

obstetric priorityob_prty

The importance or urgency ranking assigned to obstetric cases, interventions, or care tasks in EHR and perinatal care management systems. Used to triage high-risk pregnancy alerts, schedule time-sensitive maternal care activities, and sequence obstetric workflow queues appropriately.

obstetric procedure dateob_proc_dt

The calendar date on which an obstetric procedure was performed during a maternal care encounter. Captures key clinical milestones such as cesarean sections, amniocentesis, fetal monitoring procedures, or other interventions performed during pregnancy, labor, or postpartum care.

obstetric pulseob_pulse

The recorded heart rate measurement for a patient receiving obstetric care, captured as beats per minute. Used in maternal vital sign monitoring during prenatal visits, labor and delivery, or postpartum assessments to track cardiovascular status throughout the pregnancy care continuum.

obstetric quantityob_qty

The count or volume measure associated with obstetric data elements such as number of prenatal visits, fetal units, medication doses, or procedure units in EHR and claims systems. Used to validate service utilization, apply billing rules, and support maternal care analytics reporting.

obstetric raceob_race

The self-reported or recorded racial classification of a patient receiving obstetric care. Used in maternal health data analysis, population health reporting, and health equity initiatives to identify disparities in pregnancy outcomes, prenatal care access, and maternal mortality across racial groups.

obstetric rangeob_rng

The defined minimum and maximum value boundaries for obstetric clinical measurements, such as gestational age thresholds, fetal weight limits, or maternal lab reference intervals in EHR and perinatal systems. Used to flag out-of-range values and trigger clinical decision support alerts.

obstetric rateob_rt

The unit price or reimbursement value associated with obstetric procedures and services in claims, PBM, and managed care systems. Used to calculate global obstetric fee payments, per-diem delivery charges, and maternity bundled payment amounts during claims adjudication.

obstetric ratingob_rtg

A scored assessment value applied to an obstetric condition, risk factor, or care quality metric within maternal health systems. Used in clinical decision support, risk stratification, or quality reporting to evaluate pregnancy complications, care outcomes, or patient acuity during prenatal and delivery care.

obstetric ratioob_ratio

A calculated proportional value derived from obstetric clinical measurements or population metrics, such as fetal head-to-body ratios, maternal risk ratios, or complication rates. Used in prenatal diagnostics, maternal health analytics, and population-level reporting of pregnancy outcomes.

obstetric reasonob_rsn

The explanatory text or coded rationale associated with an obstetric clinical decision, service authorization, claim denial, or care plan modification in EHR and utilization management systems. Used to document medical necessity for prenatal procedures, high-risk referrals, and maternal interventions.

obstetric received dateob_rcvd_dt

The date on which an obstetric record, referral, test result, or clinical document was received within a maternal health system. Used to track care coordination timelines, document receipt of prenatal lab results, and monitor delays in obstetric information exchange across care settings.

obstetric referenceob_ref

The external pointer or cross-system identifier linking an obstetric record to related entities such as a referral, authorization, or clinical guideline in EHR, claims, and utilization management systems. Used to maintain traceability across maternity care episodes and payer systems.

obstetric resolution dateob_resol_dt

The date on which an obstetric condition, complication, or clinical issue was resolved or concluded. Used in maternal health records to document the end of pregnancy-related diagnoses such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or other conditions managed throughout the perinatal care period.

obstetric respirationob_resp

The recorded respiratory rate for a patient receiving obstetric care, measured in breaths per minute. Captured as part of maternal vital sign monitoring during prenatal assessments, labor and delivery, or postpartum recovery to detect respiratory complications and ensure maternal safety.

obstetric resultob_rslt

The clinical outcome or measurement value captured from obstetric tests, screenings, or procedures in EHR and perinatal data systems. Includes prenatal lab results, ultrasound findings, and delivery outcome codes used to support maternal risk stratification and quality reporting.

obstetric revisionob_rev

The version or iteration number indicating updates made to an obstetric record, care plan, or clinical document. Tracks amendments to maternal health documentation such as revised due dates, updated delivery plans, or corrected prenatal records within clinical and administrative systems.

obstetric riskob_rsk

A clinical assessment of the danger or complication level associated with a patient's pregnancy or obstetric condition. Used in maternal health systems to stratify patients by risk factors such as advanced maternal age, preexisting conditions, or prior pregnancy complications to guide care planning and resource allocation.

obstetric routeob_rte

The administration pathway for a medication, intervention, or procedure delivered during obstetric care. Specifies how treatments such as oxytocin, epidural anesthesia, or other pharmacological agents are administered to patients during prenatal care, labor, delivery, or the postpartum period.

obstetric scoreob_scr

The calculated numeric rating derived from obstetric risk assessments, clinical screenings, or perinatal outcome tools in EHR and care management systems. Includes APGAR scores, maternal risk indices, and depression screening scores used to guide clinical decision-making and care prioritization.
