panel sexpnl_sex

The biological classification 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 sourcepnl_src

The originating system, facility, or data feed from which a diagnostic test panel record was received in LIS, EHR, or health information exchange platforms. Data engineers use this field to track data provenance, apply source-specific transformation rules, and audit record lineage during lab data ingestion and reconciliation workflows.

panel start datepnl_start_dt

The beginning date marking when a diagnostic test panel order, result window, or panel definition becomes effective in LIS, EHR, and payer contract systems. Data engineers use this field to establish temporal boundaries for panel eligibility filtering, trend analysis, and time-series joins across clinical and claims datasets.

panel start timepnl_start_tm

The beginning time value for a group of related tests. Used to track temporal information related to panel start 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 statepnl_st

The state or province 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 statuspnl_sts

Tracks the current processing or workflow state of a diagnostic test panel in LIS and EHR systems. Valid states include ordered, collected, in-progress, resulted, or cancelled, enabling lab data engineers to monitor panel lifecycle and trigger downstream result delivery workflows.

panel street addresspnl_st_addr

The street location 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 strengthpnl_str

The drug concentration 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 subtotalpnl_subtot

The partial sum 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 system identifierpnl_sys_id

The system-generated unique id 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 targetpnl_tgt

Identifies the destination system, department, or provider to which a diagnostic test panel's results are routed in LIS and EHR integrations. Critical for data engineers configuring result routing logic in HL7 OBR segments and ensuring accurate delivery to ordering clinicians or external systems.

panel taxonomy codepnl_tax_cd

The provider specialty classification 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 temperaturepnl_temp

The body temperature 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 termination datepnl_term_dt

The ending date value for a group of related tests. Used to track temporal information related to panel termination 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 timepnl_tm

Records the specific time of day associated with a diagnostic test panel event, such as collection or resulted time, in LIS and EHR systems. Used by data engineers to calculate turnaround time metrics, enforce time-sensitive panel ordering rules, and support chronological result sequencing.

panel timestamppnl_ts

Captures the full date and time value marking a key event in a diagnostic test panel's lifecycle, such as order creation, specimen collection, or result verification, in LIS and EHR systems. Data engineers use this field for audit trails, SLA reporting, and temporal joins across lab data pipelines.

panel titlepnl_ttl

The formal designation 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 totalpnl_tot

Represents the aggregate sum of individual test components or associated charges within a diagnostic test panel in LIS, EHR, and claims systems. Data engineers use this field for billing reconciliation, utilization reporting, and validating that all expected panel components have been received and processed.

panel total countpnl_tot_cnt

The sum of occurrences 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 typepnl_typ

Classifies a diagnostic test panel into a defined category such as metabolic, hematology, lipid, or prenatal in LIS and EHR systems. Data engineers use this field to partition lab data, apply type-specific validation rules, and map panels to CPT or LOINC code groupings in analytics pipelines.
