pathologist termination datepath_term_dt

The ending date value for a laboratory medicine specialist. Used to track temporal information related to pathologist termination date. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist timepath_tm

The time of day value for a laboratory medicine specialist. Used to track temporal information related to pathologist time. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist timestamppath_ts

The date and time value for a laboratory medicine specialist. Used to track temporal information related to pathologist timestamp. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist titlepath_ttl

The formal designation for a laboratory medicine specialist. 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 pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist totalpath_tot

pathologist total countpath_tot_cnt

The sum of occurrences for a laboratory medicine specialist. 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 pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist typepath_typ

The category classification for a laboratory medicine specialist. 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 pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist updated datepath_upd_dt

The last change date for a laboratory medicine specialist. Used to track temporal information related to pathologist updated date. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist urgencypath_urg

The time sensitivity level for a laboratory medicine specialist. 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 pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist valuepath_val

The measured data point for a laboratory medicine specialist. 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 pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist versionpath_ver

The record version number for a laboratory medicine specialist. 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 pathologist management and reporting.

pathologist zippath_zip

The postal code for a laboratory medicine specialist. 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 pathologist management and reporting.

specimen addressspec_addr

Records the physical location associated with a biological sample, such as the collection site, sending laboratory, or storage facility address, in LIS and EHR systems. Data engineers use this field to support chain-of-custody tracking, specimen routing logic, and geographic analysis of sample origin across lab network integrations.

specimen amountspec_amt

Captures the monetary charge or reimbursement value associated with the collection, processing, or testing of a biological sample in LIS, claims, and billing systems. Data engineers use this field for revenue cycle reconciliation, cost-per-specimen analysis, and mapping specimen-level charges to claim line items in 837 transaction pipelines.

specimen balancespec_bal

Represents the outstanding financial amount remaining on a biological sample's associated charges after payments or adjustments in LIS and healthcare billing systems. Data engineers use this field in accounts receivable workflows, denial management pipelines, and financial reconciliation processes tied to specimen-level claim adjudication.

specimen birth datespec_birth_dt

Stores the date of birth of the patient associated with a biological sample in LIS and EHR systems, used to verify patient identity and support age-based reference range calculations. Data engineers use this field for patient matching, pediatric versus adult specimen routing, and HIPAA-compliant de-identification of lab datasets.

specimen categoryspec_cat

Classifies a biological sample into a high-level grouping such as blood, urine, tissue, or swab in LIS and EHR systems. Data engineers use this field to apply category-specific processing rules, route specimens to appropriate analyzers, and partition lab data warehouses for efficient querying across specimen type dimensions.

specimen childspec_chld

Identifies a derived or aliquoted biological sample linked to a parent specimen in LIS hierarchies, representing a subordinate sample created from the original collection. Data engineers use this field to maintain parent-child specimen relationships, track aliquot chain-of-custody, and ensure result linkage back to the originating patient encounter.
