Clinical

The boolean or categorical flag denoting a specific condition or status of a test or procedure outcome in EHR and LIS systems. Data engineers use this field to apply business rules in ETL pipelines, filter result subsets, and drive conditional logic in clinical analytics and quality reporting.

Guidance text accompanying a diagnostic test or procedure outcome in EHR and LIS systems. Directs clinicians or patients on follow-up actions, specimen handling, or result interpretation. Data engineers use rslt_instr to parse actionable directives from HL7 OBX segments or FHIR Observation resources.

Unique surrogate or natural key used to look up and reference a specific diagnostic or laboratory test result record across clinical systems, enabling joins between result tables and related clinical, order, or patient datasets in health information and data warehouse environments.

Human-readable display text assigned to a diagnostic or laboratory test result, used to present the result value in clinical interfaces, reports, and patient records in a standardized and clinician-friendly format within EHR and health information systems.

Preferred or documented language in which a diagnostic test result or its associated clinical documentation is communicated to the patient or provider, supporting multilingual care workflows and health equity requirements in EHR and patient communication systems.

Family surname of the patient or individual associated with a diagnostic test result record, used to identify and match the result to the correct person within clinical systems, laboratory information systems, and health data repositories during result reconciliation.

Official government-registered full name of the patient linked to a diagnostic test result, used for identity verification, legal documentation, and accurate patient matching across laboratory, clinical, and health information systems to prevent misidentification errors.

Hierarchy position of a test or procedure outcome within a structured result set in LIS and EHR systems. Indicates whether a result is a parent panel, sub-panel, or discrete component. Data engineers use rslt_lvl to correctly traverse nested result trees during ETL pipeline transformations.

State or regulatory body-issued professional license number of the ordering or reviewing clinician associated with a diagnostic test result, used to attribute results to credentialed providers and support compliance auditing in clinical and laboratory information systems.

Marital or domestic relationship status of the patient associated with a diagnostic test result, captured for demographic completeness and used in clinical, insurance eligibility, and population health workflows where social determinants or coverage context are relevant.

Enterprise master person or record identifier linked to a diagnostic test result, enabling consistent cross-system identification of the result across multiple EHR, laboratory, and clinical data platforms through master patient index or enterprise data integration frameworks.

Upper boundary value of the reference range or allowable limit for a diagnostic or laboratory test result, used to determine whether a result is abnormally high and to trigger clinical alerts, flags, or decision support rules within laboratory and EHR systems.

Facility-assigned medical record number of the patient linked to a diagnostic test result, serving as the primary identifier for locating the patient's complete clinical record and associating the result to the correct encounter within EHR and laboratory systems.

Middle name or initial of the patient associated with a diagnostic test result, used as a supplementary demographic identifier to improve patient matching accuracy and reduce duplicate records in laboratory information systems and clinical data repositories.

Lower boundary value of the reference range or allowable limit for a diagnostic or laboratory test result, used to determine whether a result is abnormally low and to trigger clinical alerts, flags, or decision support rules within laboratory and EHR systems.

Mobile phone number of the patient associated with a diagnostic test result, used to deliver result notifications, outreach communications, or follow-up instructions via SMS or automated call systems in patient engagement and care coordination workflows.

Username or system identifier of the user or process that last updated a diagnostic test result record, captured as part of the audit trail to support data integrity, change tracking, and compliance requirements in clinical and laboratory information systems.

Timestamp recording the most recent update to a diagnostic test or procedure outcome record in EHR, LIS, or claims systems. Critical for change data capture pipelines and audit trails. Data engineers rely on rslt_mod_dt to identify amended or corrected results in downstream clinical data warehouses.

Timestamp recording when a diagnostic test result record was last updated or amended in the system, used for audit trail maintenance, change history tracking, and data synchronization across EHR, laboratory information systems, and clinical data warehouses.

Display label assigned to a specific diagnostic test or procedure outcome in EHR, LIS, and order management systems. Often maps to LOINC or proprietary catalog codes. Data engineers use rslt_nm to standardize result identification across source systems during terminology normalization and data harmonization workflows.
