hematology modified byhem_mod_by

The user identifier of the clinician, technician, or system that last updated a hematology blood study record. Used in laboratory and clinical data audit trails to track changes to hematologic test orders, result entries, or study documentation and support data integrity and compliance reporting.

hematology modified datehem_mod_dt

The calendar date when a hematology record was last updated in the clinical system. Tracks revisions to blood study data including CBC, coagulation panels, or bone marrow results, supporting audit trails and data integrity in laboratory and EHR environments.

hematology modified timehem_mod_tm

The timestamp indicating when a hematology record was last modified in the clinical system. Used alongside the modified date to maintain precise audit trails for blood study updates, including changes to CBC results, coagulation values, or hematologic diagnoses.

hematology namehem_nm

The standardized label assigned to a hematology test, panel, condition, or procedure within the clinical system. Used to display blood study identifiers such as Complete Blood Count, Hemoglobin Electrophoresis, or Bone Marrow Biopsy in a human-readable format across laboratory and clinical workflows.

hematology notehem_nt

Free-text clinical annotation associated with a hematology record, capturing supplemental observations about blood study results, abnormal findings, or physician interpretations. Used by hematologists and lab staff to document context not captured in structured data fields within laboratory and EHR systems.

hematology numberhem_nbr

A unique numeric or alphanumeric identifier assigned to a hematology test order, result, or encounter within the clinical system. Used to reference and track specific blood studies such as CBC orders or coagulation panels across laboratory, billing, and clinical documentation workflows.

hematology onset datehem_onset_dt

The calendar date when symptoms or clinical findings related to a hematologic condition first appeared. Used in clinical documentation to establish the disease timeline for conditions such as anemia, leukemia, or coagulopathy, supporting diagnosis coding and treatment planning in EHR systems.

hematology oxygen saturationhem_o2sat

The measured percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen in the patient's blood at the time of a hematology assessment. Clinically relevant in hematologic conditions such as sickle cell disease or severe anemia where oxygen-carrying capacity is compromised, captured alongside other blood study vitals.

hematology paid amounthem_pd_amt

The dollar amount reimbursed or paid for a hematology-related service, procedure, or laboratory test. Used in billing and claims processing to record actual payment received from insurers or patients for blood studies such as CBC panels, bone marrow biopsies, or hematology consultations.

hematology paid datehem_pd_dt

The calendar date on which payment was received or posted for a hematology-related claim or service. Used in revenue cycle management to track reimbursement timing for blood studies, laboratory tests, or hematology procedures billed to insurance payers or patients.

hematology parenthem_prnt

The higher-level record or entity to which a hematology entry is hierarchically linked within the clinical or laboratory system. Used to associate subordinate blood study records, such as individual test components, with a parent order, encounter, or diagnostic category for data organization and reporting.

hematology percentagehem_pct

A proportional value expressed as a percentage within a hematology result or calculation, such as differential white blood cell percentages, hematocrit, or reticulocyte percentage. Used in clinical laboratory reporting to convey relative composition of blood components in CBC and differential panel results.

hematology periodhem_prd

The defined time interval associated with a hematology assessment, treatment cycle, or reporting window. Used to specify the duration or date range relevant to blood study monitoring, such as a chemotherapy cycle period or the timeframe covered by serial CBC monitoring for a hematologic condition.

hematology phonehem_ph

The telephone contact number associated with a hematology department, laboratory, or specialist involved in blood study ordering and reporting. Used to facilitate communication between ordering clinicians, laboratory staff, and hematology consultants regarding test results or critical value notifications.

hematology planhem_pln

The documented clinical management strategy for a patient's hematologic condition, outlining intended treatments such as chemotherapy, transfusion protocols, or anticoagulation therapy. Captured in EHR systems as part of the care plan to guide ongoing blood disorder management and coordinate multidisciplinary care.

hematology policy numberhem_pol_nbr

The insurance policy identifier associated with coverage for hematology services, laboratory tests, or blood disorder treatments. Used in claims processing and eligibility verification to link hematology-related billing transactions to the correct member insurance plan for reimbursement and coverage determination.

hematology preferred namehem_pref_nm

The clinically preferred or standardized display name for a hematology test, condition, or procedure as designated within the clinical system. Used to ensure consistent terminology when referencing blood studies such as preferred test names aligned to LOINC codes or institutional naming conventions in laboratory workflows.

hematology pricehem_prc

The established charge or cost amount for a hematology service, test, or procedure prior to insurance adjustment or payment. Used in healthcare billing systems to record the list price for blood studies such as CBC panels, bone marrow evaluations, or hematology consultations before contractual discounts are applied.

hematology primary indicatorhem_prim_ind

A flag designating whether a hematology record, diagnosis, or condition is the primary focus of a clinical encounter or billing claim. Used in laboratory and claims systems to distinguish the principal blood disorder or hematology service from secondary diagnoses, ensuring accurate coding and reimbursement prioritization.

hematology priorityhem_prty

The urgency level assigned to a hematology test order or clinical intervention, such as routine, urgent, or STAT designations for blood studies. Used in laboratory information systems to direct workflow sequencing and turnaround time expectations for CBC panels, coagulation tests, or critical hematology assessments.
