The calendar date on which a patient arrived at the facility for their scheduled appointment slot. Used in conjunction with arrival time to support patient flow analysis, appointment adherence reporting, and operational benchmarking of scheduling efficiency across care delivery sites.

The clinical evaluation or assessment documentation captured in association with a specific appointment slot.
