culture datecult_dt

The calendar date on which a microorganism growth test was performed or a specimen was inoculated in the laboratory information system. Used in LIS and EHR platforms to establish test timelines, calculate incubation periods, track turnaround times, and support infection surveillance and epidemiological reporting.

culture datetimecult_dttm

The combined date and time value recording when a microorganism growth test event occurred, such as specimen collection, inoculation, or result finalization. Used in LIS and EHR systems to support precise turnaround time calculations, audit logging, and time-sensitive infection control and reporting workflows.

culture dea numbercult_dea_nbr

The drug enforcement administration number for a microorganism growth test. Used as a unique reference to identify and track the culture across healthcare systems. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for culture management and reporting.

culture death datecult_death_dt

The date of patient death associated with a microorganism growth test record in laboratory information systems. Used in EHR, LIS, and clinical analytics platforms to reconcile post-mortem culture results, support mortality reporting, and flag records requiring special handling in downstream data processing pipelines.

culture deductible amountcult_ded_amt

The insurance threshold value for a microorganism growth test. Used to capture financial data associated with culture transactions. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for culture management and reporting.

culture deleted datecult_del_dt

culture effective datecult_eff_dt

The date on which a microbiology culture order or result becomes clinically active in EHR and LIS systems. Used by data engineers to establish validity windows for culture records in longitudinal patient datasets, enabling accurate timeline-based queries in lab and infection surveillance analytics.

culture emailcult_eml

The electronic mail address associated with a microbiology culture result notification or ordering provider contact in EHR and LIS systems. Used in result routing workflows to identify recipients of critical culture alerts, supporting data integration between lab platforms and provider communication systems.

culture emergency indicatorcult_emerg_ind

The urgent status flag for a microorganism growth test. Used to track the current state or condition of the culture. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for culture management and reporting.

culture end datecult_end_dt

The date marking the completion or closure of a microbiology culture test record in LIS and EHR systems, indicating when incubation or observation periods conclude. Used by data engineers to calculate culture duration, close open lab encounters, and support infection episode tracking in clinical analytics.

culture end timecult_end_tm
