assessment admission dateasmt_admn_dt

The calendar date on which a patient was admitted to a facility in relation to a clinical assessment being conducted. Used in inpatient care management and clinical documentation systems to establish assessment timing relative to the care episode, support length-of-stay tracking, and inform discharge planning workflows.

assessment ageasmt_age

The patient's age in years at the time a clinical assessment is conducted. Used in care management and EHR systems to apply age-appropriate clinical criteria, calculate risk scores, determine eligibility for age-specific screening protocols, and support population health stratification and quality measure reporting.

assessment allowed amountasmt_alwd_amt

The maximum reimbursable dollar amount established by a health plan for a clinical assessment service based on contracted rates or fee schedules. Used in claims adjudication and care management financial reporting to determine member cost-sharing obligations and reconcile billed charges against plan-approved payment limits.

assessment amountasmt_amt

The monetary value associated with a clinical assessment, representing the charged, approved, or paid dollar figure for the evaluation service. Used in claims processing and care management financial systems to capture cost data, support revenue cycle reporting, and track expenditures related to patient assessment activities.

assessment approved byasmt_appr_by

The identifier of the clinical or administrative user who reviewed and authorized a clinical assessment record, confirming its accuracy and readiness for use in care planning. Used in EHR and care management systems to maintain audit trails, enforce accountability, and support regulatory compliance for clinical documentation workflows.

assessment arrival timeasmt_arrv_tm

The exact clock time a patient arrived for a scheduled or unscheduled clinical evaluation. Used in care management and utilization workflows to calculate wait times, triage efficiency, and care coordination metrics across inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings.

assessment arrived dateasmt_arrv_dt

The calendar date on which a patient physically arrived for a clinical evaluation or structured health assessment. Supports care management workflows, appointment adherence tracking, and longitudinal reporting of member engagement with clinical programs and services.

assessment assessmentasmt_asmt

The clinician-authored narrative or structured text documenting clinical findings, diagnostic impressions, and patient condition at the time of evaluation. Forms the core clinical reasoning component of a SOAP note or structured assessment record in EHR and care management systems.

assessment birth dateasmt_birth_dt

The patient's date of birth recorded at the time of a clinical evaluation, used to confirm member identity, calculate age-based clinical risk scores, and ensure accurate linkage between assessment records and the corresponding member demographic profile.

assessment blood pressureasmt_bp

The systolic and diastolic arterial pressure measurement, typically expressed in mmHg, captured during a clinical evaluation. Used as a key vital sign indicator for chronic disease monitoring, hypertension management programs, and population health risk stratification workflows.

assessment cancelled dateasmt_cncl_dt

The calendar date on which a scheduled clinical evaluation was formally cancelled by the member, clinician, or care team. Used to track appointment non-adherence, trigger outreach workflows, and measure gaps in care management program engagement and follow-up.

assessment categoryasmt_cat

A structured classification that groups clinical evaluations by type, such as behavioral health, preventive care, chronic disease management, or functional status. Enables filtering, reporting, and workflow routing of assessments across care management and population health programs.

assessment chief complaintasmt_cc

The primary symptom, concern, or reason for visit as reported by the patient at the start of a clinical evaluation. Captured verbatim or in standardized form, this field drives triage decisions, clinical documentation workflows, and diagnostic coding in EHR and care management systems.

assessment childasmt_chld

An identifier or reference linking a subordinate assessment record to a parent assessment in a hierarchical data structure. Supports multi-level clinical evaluation workflows where component or follow-up assessments are nested under a primary encounter or care plan record.

assessment cityasmt_city

assessment classasmt_cls

A high-level classification tier that categorizes a clinical evaluation by its administrative or clinical scope, such as initial, follow-up, urgent, or comprehensive. Used to differentiate assessment types for reporting, reimbursement workflows, and care program enrollment criteria.

assessment codeasmt_cd

A standardized alphanumeric identifier assigned to a specific type of clinical evaluation, often mapped to coding systems such as CPT, LOINC, or proprietary care management taxonomies. Enables consistent identification, billing, and cross-system reporting of assessment activities.

assessment commentasmt_cmt
