hematology external identifierhem_ext_id

A unique reference code assigned by an external system, such as a reference laboratory or health information exchange, to identify a hematology record or blood study. Used to correlate results and orders across disparate clinical systems and support interoperability for blood study data.

hematology faxhem_fax

The facsimile number used to transmit hematology results, critical value notifications, or blood study reports to ordering clinicians, consulting specialists, or hematology departments. Used in laboratory communication workflows where electronic delivery is unavailable or regulatory requirements mandate fax transmission.

hematology feehem_fee

The charge amount billed for a hematology service, such as a complete blood count, bone marrow biopsy, or coagulation study. Used in healthcare billing and revenue cycle systems to capture laboratory procedure costs and support claims submission for blood study services.

hematology first namehem_first_nm

The given name of the patient or clinical contact associated with a hematology record. Used in laboratory and clinical information systems to identify the individual linked to a blood study, support accurate patient matching, and display human-readable identification in hematology workflows.

hematology flaghem_flg

A binary or coded marker indicating a notable condition associated with a hematology result or order, such as an abnormal value, critical result, specimen integrity issue, or review required status. Used in laboratory systems to trigger alerts, prioritize clinician review, and route blood study results appropriately.

hematology frequencyhem_freq

The scheduled interval at which a hematology test or blood study is ordered or repeated, such as daily CBC monitoring for chemotherapy patients or weekly coagulation panels for anticoagulation management. Used in clinical order management systems to automate recurring hematology test schedules.

hematology full namehem_full_nm

The complete name of the patient or clinical contact associated with a hematology record, combining all name components. Used in laboratory and clinical systems to unambiguously identify individuals linked to blood studies and support accurate patient matching across hematology data workflows.

hematology genderhem_gndr

The recorded sex or gender of the patient associated with a hematology record. Used in clinical and laboratory systems to apply gender-specific reference ranges for blood study results such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell counts, ensuring accurate interpretation of hematologic findings.

hematology glucosehem_gluc

The measured blood glucose concentration captured as part of a hematology or metabolic blood study panel. Used in clinical laboratory systems to monitor glycemic status in patients with hematologic conditions such as sickle cell disease or those undergoing treatments that affect glucose metabolism.

hematology group numberhem_grp_nbr

The insurance group identifier associated with the patient's health plan coverage for hematology services. Used in billing and claims systems to link blood study procedures to the correct insurance group, enabling accurate adjudication and reimbursement for hematology laboratory and clinical services.

hematology hemoglobinhem_hgb

The measured hemoglobin concentration level recorded during a hematology blood study, expressed in g/dL. Used in clinical data systems to track oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells, support anemia diagnosis, and monitor treatment response in hematologic conditions.

hematology history present illnesshem_hpi

The narrative clinical documentation describing a patient's current hematologic symptoms, onset, duration, and severity at the time of a blood study encounter. Used in EHR systems to capture the clinical context surrounding hematologic diagnoses such as anemia, bleeding disorders, or malignancies.

hematology identifierhem_id

The unique system-generated or assigned identifier for a specific hematology blood study record. Used to track, reference, and link hematologic test orders, results, and associated clinical documentation across laboratory information systems and clinical data warehouses.

hematology indexhem_idx

The sequential position number assigned to a hematology blood study record within a dataset or result set. Used in laboratory and clinical data systems to order, paginate, and process multiple hematologic study records associated with a patient encounter or test panel.

hematology indicatorhem_ind

A boolean or coded flag value associated with a hematology blood study that denotes a specific clinical condition or data state, such as whether a result is critical, abnormal, or requires follow-up. Used in clinical decision support and laboratory reporting workflows.

hematology instructionhem_instr

The clinical or procedural guidance text associated with a hematology blood study, such as patient preparation requirements, specimen collection instructions, or interpretation notes. Used in laboratory information systems to ensure accurate test execution and result reporting.

hematology keyhem_key

The lookup or reference key value used to link a hematology blood study record to related entities such as test codes, result categories, or reference range tables. Used in clinical data warehouses and laboratory systems to enable standardized data retrieval and cross-system mapping.

hematology languagehem_lang

The preferred spoken or written communication language recorded in association with a hematology blood study or the patient receiving it. Used in clinical systems to ensure patient-facing instructions, consent forms, and result communications are delivered in the appropriate language.

hematology last namehem_last_nm

The patient's or ordering clinician's family surname associated with a hematology blood study record. Used in laboratory and clinical data systems to identify individuals, match records across systems, and support human-readable display in hematology reports and result documentation.

hematology legal namehem_legal_nm

The official full legal name of the patient associated with a hematology blood study, as registered in identity management systems. Used to ensure accurate patient matching, regulatory compliance, and correct labeling of specimens and laboratory result documentation.
