culture paid datecult_pd_dt

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

culture parentcult_prnt

The superior or parent entity in a hierarchical relationship associated with a microbiology culture record in LIS and EHR systems, such as a parent order or specimen group. Used by data engineers to navigate and reconstruct culture record hierarchies during data modeling and lab result normalization workflows.

culture percentagecult_pct

A ratio or proportional value associated with a microbiology culture test in LIS and EHR systems, such as organism prevalence, sensitivity percentage, or quality metric. Used by data engineers to populate quantitative fields in lab analytics datasets and support infection rate calculations in clinical reporting pipelines.

culture periodcult_prd

The defined time span during which a microbiology culture test is observed, incubated, or considered active in LIS and EHR systems. Used by data engineers to calculate culture duration windows, define episode boundaries in infection surveillance analytics, and support time-series queries in lab data warehouses.

culture phonecult_ph

The telephone number associated with the ordering provider, patient, or department linked to a microorganism growth test. Used in LIS and EHR systems to facilitate critical value callback workflows, notify clinicians of actionable microbiology results, and maintain contact traceability for infection control reporting.

culture plancult_pln

culture quantitycult_qty

The count or volume measurement associated with a microorganism growth test, representing specimen amount collected or organism concentration detected. Used in LIS and EHR systems to assess specimen adequacy, quantify bacterial load in CFU/mL, and support clinical interpretation of microbiology results and treatment decisions.

culture racecult_race

The ethnic classification for a microorganism growth test. 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 culture management and reporting.

culture rangecult_rng

The defined minimum and maximum value span used to interpret results from a microorganism growth test, including reference intervals or acceptable colony count thresholds. Used in LIS and EHR systems to flag abnormal findings, apply interpretive rules, and support standardized microbiology result reporting.

culture ratecult_rt

The unit price or billing rate associated with performing a microorganism growth test, used for cost accounting and reimbursement purposes.
