Operations

Represents the aggregate number of rooms within a defined unit, facility, or reporting category. Used in healthcare facility management, capacity planning, and regulatory reporting systems to track total room inventory, bed availability, and utilization metrics across inpatient settings.

The category classification identifying the type of patient room, such as private, semi-private, ICU, NICU, or observation, in hospital ADT and billing systems. Maps to UB-04 revenue codes 010x–019x. Data engineers use rm_typ to stratify accommodation charges, support payer contract analysis, and validate claim submissions.

The nursing unit or care area designation associated with a patient room within hospital ADT, EHR, and staffing systems. Links physical room assignments to clinical departments. Data engineers use rm_unt to join room records with unit-level cost centers, staffing ratios, and departmental billing attributes in facility datasets.

Captures the most recent date on which a patient room record was modified in the facility management or healthcare information system. Used for audit trail maintenance, data governance, and synchronization across bed management, scheduling, and clinical documentation platforms.

Indicates the priority or time-sensitivity level assigned to a patient room request or room-related event, such as emergency turnover or urgent bed assignment. Used in bed management and facility operations systems to triage room preparation tasks and support rapid patient throughput.

A discrete measured data point associated with a patient room record in hospital EHR, ADT, or facility management systems, such as accommodation charge amount, acuity score, or occupancy metric. Data engineers use rm_val as a flexible numeric attribute in room-level analytics and financial reconciliation workflows.

The sequential version number assigned to a patient room record, tracking changes to room attributes such as designation, capacity, or equipment over time. Enables audit trails and historical comparisons of room configurations within facility management and clinical data systems.

The postal ZIP code associated with the physical location of a patient care room or clinical space. Used in facility management systems to identify the geographic location of care delivery, support billing accuracy, and enable location-based reporting across multi-site healthcare facilities.

The full address associated with a medication or treatment administration route record, identifying the physical location where the route is documented or administered. Used in pharmacy and clinical systems to link administration pathways to specific care sites or home infusion locations.

The current authorization state of a medication or treatment administration route, indicating whether the route has been reviewed, approved, pending, or rejected by clinical staff. Supports pharmacy workflow management and ensures only validated administration pathways are used in active care plans.

The monetary charge associated with a specific medication or treatment administration route, capturing the cost billed for route-specific delivery methods such as IV, intramuscular, or subcutaneous administration. Used in pharmacy billing and claims processing to itemize administration-related service fees.

The date on which a specific medication or treatment administration route becomes active and valid for clinical use. Used in pharmacy and clinical documentation systems to define the start of an approved route within a care plan, treatment protocol, or formulary record.

The group identifier associated with a medication or treatment administration route, used to categorize routes within a defined formulary group, care protocol, or insurance benefit structure. Supports pharmacy management and reporting by linking routes to applicable coverage or clinical groupings.

The unique patient medical record number linked to a specific medication or treatment administration route record, enabling patient-level tracking of prescribed and administered routes. Used in pharmacy and clinical systems to associate route documentation with an individual patient's longitudinal health record.

The planned calendar date on which a medication or treatment administration via a specific route is scheduled to occur. Used in pharmacy and nursing workflow systems to coordinate care delivery, ensure timely medication administration, and support scheduling compliance reporting.

The planned clock time at which a medication or treatment is scheduled to be administered via a specific route. Used in pharmacy and nursing systems to coordinate time-sensitive drug delivery, support medication administration records (MAR), and monitor adherence to prescribed dosing schedules.

The street-level address associated with a medication or treatment administration route record, identifying the specific physical location of care delivery or home-based administration. Used in pharmacy and home infusion systems to coordinate logistics and link route records to patient or facility locations.

The unit of measure associated with a specific medication administration route, defining the quantity or dosage unit applicable to the route such as milligrams, milliliters, or units per dose. Used in pharmacy systems to standardize dosing documentation and support accurate medication administration records.

The physical location address associated with a collected biological specimen, identifying where the sample was collected or is being processed. Used in laboratory information systems (LIS) to track specimen origin, support chain of custody documentation, and coordinate transport logistics between collection sites and labs.

The current authorization or review state of a collected biological specimen, indicating whether the sample has been accepted, rejected, pending review, or approved for laboratory analysis. Used in laboratory information systems to enforce quality control workflows and ensure only suitable specimens proceed to testing.
