Captures the middle name or initial of an individual associated with a healthcare record, used as a supplementary identity attribute to improve patient matching accuracy in member enrollment, clinical registration, and claims processing systems.

Represents the lower boundary or floor value defined for a clinical measurement, dosage parameter, benefit threshold, or authorization requirement within a healthcare record. Used in clinical decision support, pharmacy benefit management, and utilization review workflows.

Stores the mobile or cellular telephone number associated with an individual's healthcare record. Used in member outreach, appointment reminders, care gap notifications, two-factor authentication, and emergency contact workflows across health plan and provider systems.

Captures the user ID or system identifier responsible for the most recent update to a healthcare record. Used in audit trail tracking, data governance, and compliance reporting to maintain accountability for changes made to clinical, claims, or enrollment data.

The timestamp or date on which a healthcare information document was last updated or changed within a system of record. Used in EHR, claims, and enrollment platforms for audit trail maintenance, change data capture (CDC) processing, and data synchronization across integrated healthcare data pipelines.

Stores the timestamp reflecting when a healthcare record was most recently updated or changed within a data system. Used in audit logging, data synchronization, change data capture pipelines, and compliance tracking to establish chronological history of record modifications.
