frequency phonefreq_ph

The telephone number associated with a medication administration frequency record's contact or notification configuration. Used in clinical communication workflows to support outreach, scheduling alerts, and coordination related to medication dosing and administration timing management.

frequency preferred namefreq_pref_nm

The preferred or clinician-designated display label for a medication administration frequency, used when multiple name formats exist. Used in pharmacy and clinical order entry to present the most contextually appropriate frequency description across different care settings and system interfaces.

frequency pricefreq_prc

The cost value assigned to a medication administration frequency-related service or transaction within a pharmacy or clinical billing context. Used in revenue cycle management to capture charge amounts associated with specific dosing schedules or frequency-based treatment and dispensing services.

frequency primary indicatorfreq_prim_ind

A flag designating whether a medication administration frequency record is the primary or default schedule among multiple configured options. Used in pharmacy and clinical order management to determine which frequency takes precedence when multiple dosing intervals are associated with a medication or protocol.

frequency priorityfreq_prty

The importance or urgency ranking assigned to a medication administration frequency record relative to other configured schedules. Used in pharmacy and clinical order management to determine processing order, override precedence, and scheduling priority when multiple dosing frequencies apply to a patient's treatment plan.

frequency pulsefreq_pulse

The heart rate value for a administration timing. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for frequency management and reporting.

frequency quantityfreq_qty

The numeric count representing how many times a medication, treatment, or clinical intervention is administered within a defined period. Used in pharmacy dispensing and clinical orders to specify dose occurrences per hour, day, or week for accurate medication management.

frequency racefreq_race

The racial or ethnic demographic classification associated with a medication or treatment administration frequency record. Used in clinical analytics to identify disparities in prescribing patterns, adherence rates, and treatment outcomes across different patient population groups.

frequency ratefreq_rt

The numeric value expressing how rapidly or often a clinical intervention, medication dose, or procedure is administered over a standardized unit of time. Used in infusion therapy and pharmacy records to define delivery speed, such as units per hour or doses per day.

frequency ratingfreq_rtg

An assessed or scored value indicating the clinical significance or priority level assigned to a medication or treatment administration schedule. Used in care management systems to evaluate and rank the appropriateness of prescribed dosing intervals against clinical guidelines.

frequency ratiofreq_ratio

The proportional relationship between the number of administrations and a defined time unit for a medication or clinical treatment. Used in pharmacy and clinical decision support systems to standardize dosing interval comparisons across different treatment regimens and patient populations.

frequency reasonfreq_rsn

The clinical justification or explanatory text describing why a specific medication or treatment administration schedule was selected or modified. Used in prescribing and pharmacy workflows to document medical necessity, patient tolerance adjustments, or protocol-driven changes to dosing intervals.

frequency received datefreq_rcvd_dt

The calendar date on which a medication order, treatment frequency instruction, or clinical administration schedule was received by the pharmacy or clinical team. Used in pharmacy dispensing workflows to track order intake timing and ensure timely medication preparation and delivery.

frequency referencefreq_ref

An external identifier or pointer linking a medication or treatment administration frequency record to a source system, clinical guideline, formulary entry, or standardized dosing protocol. Used to maintain traceability between clinical orders and the authoritative reference that governs the prescribed administration schedule.

frequency resolution datefreq_resol_dt

The calendar date on which a recurring medication administration schedule or treatment frequency was discontinued, completed, or resolved. Used in pharmacy and clinical records to mark the end of an active dosing regimen and support accurate medication reconciliation and treatment history reporting.

frequency respirationfreq_resp

The breathing rate value for a administration timing. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for frequency management and reporting.

frequency revisionfreq_rev

The sequential version or iteration number indicating how many times a medication or treatment administration schedule has been modified since its original entry. Used in pharmacy and clinical order management to track changes to dosing intervals and maintain an auditable history of prescribing adjustments.

frequency riskfreq_rsk

The assessed danger level associated with a prescribed medication or treatment administration schedule, reflecting potential for harm due to over-administration, under-dosing, or interval errors. Used in clinical decision support and pharmacy safety reviews to flag high-risk dosing patterns requiring pharmacist or clinician intervention.

frequency scorefreq_scr

A calculated numeric value summarizing the clinical appropriateness, adherence level, or risk profile of a medication or treatment administration schedule. Used in population health and pharmacy analytics to quantify dosing pattern performance against evidence-based benchmarks or patient-specific care protocols.

frequency sequencefreq_seq

The ordinal position number assigned to a medication or treatment administration event within a series of scheduled doses or clinical interventions. Used in pharmacy and clinical order systems to establish the correct ordering of multi-step or tiered dosing regimens and ensure accurate administration timing.
