culture referencecult_ref

The external pointer or cross-reference identifier linking a microorganism growth test to related records, such as an order number, accession ID, or encounter identifier. Used in LIS, EHR, and data integration platforms to maintain traceability, support result reconciliation, and enable cross-system microbiology data linkage.

culture resolution datecult_resol_dt

The condition end date for a microorganism growth test. Used to track temporal information related to culture resolution 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 respirationcult_resp

The breathing rate value 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 resultcult_rslt

The outcome measurement from a microorganism growth test, capturing organism identification, colony counts, or no-growth findings reported by the laboratory. Used in LIS, EHR, and clinical analytics systems to drive treatment decisions, support antibiotic stewardship programs, and feed infection surveillance and public health reporting workflows.

culture review systemscult_ros

The body systems assessment 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 revisioncult_rev

The update iteration number 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 riskcult_rsk

The danger level assessment 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 routecult_rte

The administration pathway 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 scorecult_scr

Numeric rating assigned to a microbiology culture test result in LIS and EHR systems, reflecting growth intensity or pathogen load. Used in clinical analytics pipelines to stratify infection severity and trigger downstream care protocols.

culture sequencecult_seq

Ordinal number identifying the order in which a microbiology culture test was collected or processed within an episode of care. Used in LIS and EHR data pipelines to deduplicate results and track serial testing across encounters.

culture service datecult_svc_dt

The calendar date on which a microbiology culture specimen was collected or the culture test was performed in a clinical lab. Captured in LIS and EHR systems and used for encounter-level analytics, infection trend reporting, and claims reconciliation.

culture severitycult_sev

Coded or numeric value representing the clinical seriousness of a microbiology culture result, such as light, moderate, or heavy growth. Ingested from LIS and EHR sources into analytics platforms to prioritize patient interventions and infection control workflows.

culture sexcult_sex

The biological 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 sourcecult_src

The anatomical site or specimen type from which a microbiology culture sample was collected, such as blood, urine, or wound. Stored in LIS and EHR systems and used in data pipelines to classify infection type, guide antibiotic stewardship, and support outcomes analysis.

culture start datecult_start_dt

The date on which incubation or processing of a microbiology culture specimen was initiated in the laboratory. Captured in LIS platforms and used in healthcare data pipelines to calculate turnaround time, monitor lab efficiency, and correlate with clinical outcomes.

culture start timecult_start_tm

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

culture statecult_st

The state or province 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 statuscult_sts

The current processing or result state of a microbiology culture test, such as pending, preliminary, or final, as recorded in LIS and EHR systems. Used in data integration workflows to filter actionable results and trigger clinical decision support alerts.

culture street addresscult_st_addr

The street location 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 strengthcult_str

The drug concentration 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.
