panel modified datepnl_mod_dt

The timestamp recording the most recent update made to a diagnostic test panel or care management panel record in EHR, LIS, or population health systems. Data engineers use this field to implement incremental load strategies, detect record changes during CDC processing, and audit data modification history.

panel modified timepnl_mod_tm

The record update time for a group of related tests. Used to track temporal information related to panel modified time. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for panel management and reporting.

panel namepnl_nm

The human-readable display label assigned to a group of clinically related diagnostic tests in LIS, EHR, and order entry systems. Used by data engineers to map panel identifiers across lab result datasets, claims adjudication, and CPT grouping logic.

panel notepnl_nt

Free-text annotation attached to a diagnostic test panel record in LIS or EHR systems, capturing clinical instructions, specimen handling requirements, or result interpretation guidance. Data engineers use this field to parse supplemental context during lab result ingestion and HL7 message processing.

panel numberpnl_nbr

The unique numeric identifier assigned to a group of related diagnostic tests within LIS, EHR order management, or claims systems. Used by data engineers to join panel records across lab result tables, CPT code mappings, and insurance reimbursement datasets for accurate billing reconciliation.

panel onset datepnl_onset_dt

The symptom start date for a group of related tests. Used to track temporal information related to panel onset date. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for panel management and reporting.

panel oxygen saturationpnl_o2sat

The blood oxygen level for a group of related tests. 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 panel management and reporting.

panel paid amountpnl_pd_amt

The payment received value for a group of related tests. Used to capture financial data associated with panel transactions. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for panel management and reporting.

panel paid datepnl_pd_dt

The payment date for a group of related tests. Used to track temporal information related to panel paid date. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for panel management and reporting.

panel parentpnl_prnt

The hierarchical superior panel record to which a sub-panel or individual test component belongs in LIS and EHR order catalog structures. Data engineers use this relationship field to build test hierarchy trees, support rollup aggregations, and resolve nested panel dependencies in laboratory data pipelines.

panel percentagepnl_pct

A ratio value representing a proportional metric associated with a diagnostic test panel, such as percent positivity, reimbursement rate, or result completion rate. Used by data engineers in LIS and claims analytics to calculate panel-level performance benchmarks and quality reporting metrics.

panel periodpnl_prd

The defined time span during which a diagnostic test panel is active, reportable, or covered under a payer contract in EHR, LIS, or claims systems. Data engineers use this field to apply date-range filters, manage panel lifecycle versioning, and align lab result records with corresponding benefit periods.

panel phonepnl_ph

The telephone contact number associated with a diagnostic test panel's ordering facility, reference laboratory, or result reporting department in LIS and EHR provider directory datasets. Data engineers use this field to link panel records to facility master data and support provider outreach workflows.

panel planpnl_pln

The treatment strategy text for a group of related tests. 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 panel management and reporting.

panel policy numberpnl_pol_nbr

The coverage policy identifier for a group of related tests. Used as a unique reference to identify and track the panel across healthcare systems. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for panel management and reporting.

panel preferred namepnl_pref_nm

The chosen display name for a group of related tests. Used to display and describe the panel in a human-readable format. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for panel management and reporting.

panel pricepnl_prc

The cost value for a group of related tests. 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 panel management and reporting.

panel primary indicatorpnl_prim_ind

The primary designation flag for a group of related tests. Used to track the current state or condition of the panel. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for panel management and reporting.

panel prioritypnl_prty

A coded ranking value indicating the clinical urgency or processing order of a diagnostic test panel in LIS and EHR order management systems, such as STAT, routine, or urgent. Data engineers use this field to drive result routing logic, SLA monitoring, and turnaround time analytics in lab data pipelines.

panel pulsepnl_pulse

The heart rate value for a group of related tests. 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 panel management and reporting.
