Clinical

The state-issued professional license number assigned to a pulmonologist, used to verify credentials, validate billing eligibility, and confirm scope of practice. Referenced during provider enrollment, claims adjudication, and regulatory compliance reporting across health systems.

Records the marital status of a patient receiving pulmonology care. Used in demographic profiling, social determinants of health assessments, and care coordination workflows where household and support context may influence respiratory disease management and treatment planning.

The enterprise-wide master identifier linking a pulmonology record across multiple clinical and administrative systems. Supports patient matching, longitudinal respiratory care tracking, and deduplication efforts within master patient index and health information exchange environments.

Captures the upper threshold value for a pulmonology-related clinical or administrative parameter, such as maximum allowable dosage, peak flow reading, or benefit limit. Used in clinical decision support rules, utilization management, and respiratory care protocol enforcement.

The facility-assigned medical record number uniquely identifying a patient within a pulmonology care setting. Used to link encounter records, diagnostic results, and treatment histories across inpatient, outpatient, and specialty respiratory care visits within a health system.

The middle name or initial of a patient or pulmonologist associated with a respiratory care record. Used in identity verification, duplicate patient detection, and accurate record matching across clinical systems to ensure proper attribution of pulmonology encounters and documentation.

Captures the lower threshold value for a pulmonology-related clinical or administrative parameter, such as minimum oxygen saturation thresholds, spirometry baseline values, or benefit floors. Used in clinical decision support, alert triggering, and respiratory care quality monitoring.

The mobile phone number associated with a patient or pulmonology care contact. Used to support appointment reminders, telehealth outreach, care coordination communications, and patient engagement initiatives within respiratory specialty care programs and chronic disease management workflows.

Identifies the user or system that last updated a pulmonology record, supporting audit trail requirements and data governance. Used in clinical data integrity reviews, change tracking, and compliance reporting to attribute modifications within respiratory care documentation systems.

Records the calendar date when a pulmonology record was most recently updated. Used in audit logging, data governance reviews, and synchronization processes to track changes to respiratory care documentation, patient records, or clinical workflow configurations across health information systems.

Captures the exact time a pulmonology record was last modified. Used alongside the modified date to provide a precise audit timestamp for changes to respiratory care records, supporting data integrity validation, system reconciliation, and compliance audit requirements.

The display name associated with a pulmonology record, representing a patient, provider, procedure, or care entity in human-readable format. Used in clinical documentation, reporting dashboards, provider directories, and patient-facing communications within respiratory specialty care systems.

Free-text or structured annotation associated with a pulmonology encounter, diagnosis, or care record. Captures clinical observations, follow-up instructions, or administrative comments related to respiratory care, supporting care coordination, documentation completeness, and clinical communication across care teams.

A reference number assigned to a pulmonology record, encounter, or transaction for tracking and identification purposes. Used to correlate respiratory care records across clinical, billing, and administrative systems, supporting case management, reporting, and longitudinal care continuity.

Records the date when respiratory symptoms or a pulmonology-related condition first appeared. Used in clinical documentation to establish disease chronology, support diagnosis coding, inform treatment planning, and calculate duration of illness for respiratory conditions such as COPD or asthma.

Records the peripheral blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) percentage measured for a patient under pulmonology care. A critical respiratory vital sign used to monitor hypoxemia, guide supplemental oxygen therapy decisions, assess disease severity, and track clinical response in lung disease management.

The dollar amount reimbursed for pulmonology services rendered, reflecting actual payment after adjudication of claims. Used in revenue cycle management, cost analysis, and financial reconciliation to track respiratory specialty care reimbursements from payers, patients, or third-party administrators.

The date on which payment was issued for a pulmonology claim or service. Used in revenue cycle management and accounts receivable tracking to monitor reimbursement timelines, identify delayed payments, and reconcile pulmonology billing records against remittance advice from payers.

Identifies the parent entity in a hierarchical relationship for a pulmonology record, such as a parent diagnosis, parent organization, or parent care program. Used to maintain structural data relationships, support rollup reporting, and manage respiratory care program hierarchies within clinical data systems.

Proportional ratio used in pulmonology care contexts, such as percentage of predicted lung function (e.g., FEV1% predicted), treatment response rates, or pulmonologist utilization share within a respiratory care program or claims dataset.
