A binary flag indicating whether a room record has been logically removed from active use within the facility management system. Enables soft-delete functionality, allowing historical room data to be preserved for reporting and auditing purposes without permanently purging the record.

Textual explanation providing detailed information about a patient room or care space, including its features, location, or intended use, in EHR, facility, and bed management systems. Data engineers use this field to enrich room dimension tables in data warehouses, support search and filtering in room inventory interfaces, and validate charge master room entries.

Specific operational or clinical information associated with a patient room or care space, such as equipment availability or special capabilities, in EHR and facility management systems. Data engineers use this field to populate room attribute dimensions in data warehouses, support bed assignment logic in ADT workflows, and enhance facility capacity analytics pipelines.

The date by which a payment, task, or action associated with a room charge or room-related billing transaction is expected to be completed. Used in revenue cycle management to track outstanding balances, trigger collection workflows, and monitor timely resolution of room-related financial obligations.

The total length of time a patient occupied a specific room during an inpatient, observation, or procedural stay, typically measured in hours or days. Used in bed management, utilization review, and facility billing to calculate room and board charges and assess throughput efficiency.

Active beginning date indicating when a patient room or care space record becomes valid within facility management, ADT, and billing systems. Data engineers use this field to implement slowly changing dimension logic in room master data, filter historically active rooms for census reporting, and align room configurations with correct charge master rates in revenue cycle pipelines.

Electronic mail address assigned to a specific patient room or care space within a hospital or clinical facility. Used in EHR and facility management systems to route communications, maintenance requests, and care team notifications tied to a physical location.

A flag identifying whether a room is designated for emergency care or whether a patient was placed in the room under emergency admission circumstances. Used in facility management and clinical documentation to differentiate emergency room assignments from scheduled admissions for billing and operational reporting.

The date on which a patient room or physical care space was decommissioned, reassigned, or taken out of active service. Used in EHR and facility management systems to track room availability history, occupancy records, and inpatient billing periods.

The precise timestamp at which a patient's occupancy or a room-based service concluded. Used in inpatient facility systems to calculate room duration, support accurate room and board billing, coordinate housekeeping and turnover workflows, and track bed availability in real-time capacity management.

The identifier of the staff member or system user who manually entered or updated the room record in the clinical or facility information system. Used in audit trail documentation to support data integrity reviews, error resolution, and accountability tracking for room assignment and configuration entries.

The recorded ethnicity of the patient occupying a room, captured in compliance with federal reporting requirements such as CMS and Joint Commission standards. Used in inpatient demographic reporting, health equity analysis, and population health initiatives to identify and address disparities in room assignment and care delivery.

The date after which a patient room's current configuration, designation, or certification becomes invalid. Used in EHR and hospital facility systems to manage room compliance, infection control certifications, and clinical space reauthorization workflows.

A unique reference code assigned to a room by an external system, such as a hospital information system, facility management platform, or third-party integration. Used to ensure consistent cross-system identification of room records during data exchanges, interface transactions, and multi-system reconciliation processes.

The facsimile telephone number associated with a specific room, unit, or care area within a facility. Used in clinical communication workflows to route orders, referral documentation, and clinical correspondence to the correct location within a hospital or multi-unit healthcare facility.

The charge assessed for occupying a specific inpatient or outpatient room during a facility stay. Captured on institutional claims and facility billing records to represent the base accommodation cost separate from ancillary services, procedures, or supplies rendered during the encounter.

The primary label or shortened given designation assigned to a specific room within a healthcare facility. Used in bed management systems and census tracking to identify and display individual rooms in schedules, floor maps, and patient placement workflows across inpatient units.

A binary indicator applied to a patient room record in EHR and hospital facility systems to denote special conditions such as isolation requirements, maintenance holds, or regulatory restrictions. Critical for bed management and patient placement workflows.

The rate at which a specific room within a healthcare facility is utilized or turned over during a defined period. Tracked in facility management and operational systems to measure occupancy patterns, housekeeping scheduling, and capacity planning across inpatient and outpatient settings.

The complete descriptive designation for a specific room within a healthcare facility, typically combining unit, floor, wing, and room number elements. Used in bed management, patient placement, and facility operations systems to uniquely identify and display room locations across the care environment.
