schedule termination datesched_term_dt

The calendar date on which a scheduled appointment, recurring scheduling series, or scheduling authorization period ends or is cancelled. Used in appointment management systems to close scheduling records, release reserved resources, and trigger follow-up workflows for rescheduling or care gap identification.

schedule timesched_tm

The designated clock time assigned to a patient appointment within a scheduling system, representing the planned encounter time at a healthcare facility. Used to manage patient flow, coordinate provider availability, and measure scheduling efficiency including wait times and on-time performance metrics.

schedule timestampsched_ts

The combined date and time value recording when a scheduling event occurred, such as when an appointment was created, modified, confirmed, or cancelled. Used in scheduling audit trails, operational analytics, and system integration logs to establish precise chronological sequencing of scheduling activity.

schedule titlesched_ttl

The formal name or label assigned to a scheduled appointment type, scheduling template, or scheduling block within a healthcare facility's appointment management system. Used to categorize visit types, configure scheduling templates, and support patient-facing communication such as appointment confirmation notifications.

schedule totalsched_tot

The aggregate monetary or unit value across all line items within an appointment or resource scheduling record. Used in clinical scheduling systems to summarize allocated time blocks, procedure counts, or associated costs for a scheduling period or provider calendar.

schedule total countsched_tot_cnt

The total number of scheduling entries, appointments, or time blocks associated with a specific scheduling record or period. Used in clinical operations and capacity planning to quantify appointment volume, resource utilization, or procedure frequency within a defined scheduling window.

schedule typesched_typ

The categorical classification that defines the nature of a scheduling record, such as routine appointment, surgical block, on-call rotation, or preventive care visit. Used in clinical scheduling systems to route, prioritize, and manage appointments across departments and care settings.

schedule unitsched_unt

The standard unit of measurement applied to a scheduling record, such as time increments (15-minute slots), procedure units, or resource allocations. Used in clinical scheduling and capacity management systems to define the granularity of appointment blocks and resource assignments.

schedule updated datesched_upd_dt

The most recent date on which a scheduling record was modified, including changes to appointment time, provider assignment, procedure type, or status. Used in clinical scheduling systems to maintain an accurate audit trail of scheduling changes and support operational reporting.

schedule urgencysched_urg

The clinical priority or time-sensitivity level assigned to a scheduled appointment or procedure, such as emergent, urgent, or routine. Used in clinical scheduling systems to triage and prioritize patient access, ensuring that high-acuity cases receive timely placement within the care schedule.

schedule valuesched_val

The quantitative data point associated with a scheduling record, such as the monetary value of a booked procedure, the relative value unit of a scheduled service, or a numeric score representing scheduling priority. Used in clinical and financial scheduling systems for resource valuation and reporting.

schedule versionsched_ver

The sequential version number assigned to a scheduling record to track revisions over time. Used in clinical scheduling systems to manage concurrent updates, support audit trails, and ensure data integrity when appointments are modified, rescheduled, or reauthorized across multiple system interactions.

schedule zipsched_zip

The postal code associated with the location where a scheduled appointment or procedure is to occur, such as a clinic, hospital campus, or outpatient facility. Used in scheduling systems to support geographic routing, facility identification, and patient proximity-based appointment assignment.

sensitivity addresssens_addr

The full mailing or physical address associated with a patient sensitivity or allergy record, typically linked to the reporting facility or ordering clinician. Used in clinical allergy and adverse reaction documentation systems to identify the care location where the sensitivity was recorded or reported.

sensitivity approval statussens_appr_sts

The current authorization or review state of a patient sensitivity or allergy record, indicating whether the entry has been clinically verified, pending review, or rejected. Used in EHR allergy management workflows to ensure that only validated sensitivity records are active in a patient's clinical profile.

sensitivity charge amountsens_chrg_amt

The billed or assessed charge amount associated with allergy testing, sensitivity evaluation, or adverse reaction workup services. Used in clinical and billing systems to capture the financial cost of diagnostic procedures performed to identify or confirm a patient's substance sensitivity or allergic condition.

sensitivity effective datesens_eff_dt

The date on which a patient's documented sensitivity or allergy record became clinically active and applicable to their care. Used in EHR allergy management systems to determine when clinical decision support alerts, contraindication checks, and medication screening rules should apply based on the documented reaction.

sensitivity group numbersens_grp_nbr

The insurance group identifier associated with the member at the time a sensitivity or allergy record was documented. Used to link patient sensitivity data to the applicable health plan coverage, supporting coordination of benefits and eligibility verification for allergy-related diagnostic or treatment services.
