Operations

A numeric identifier assigned to a care delivery location within a healthcare system or network, used to uniquely distinguish the facility in operational workflows, claims processing, scheduling, and reporting. Commonly referenced in EDI transactions and facility management systems alongside the site name.

The date on which a clinical condition, symptom, or event was first observed or documented at a specific care delivery location. Used in clinical data capture to establish the timeline of a patient's condition, supporting diagnosis coding, care planning, and epidemiological tracking at the facility level.

The measured peripheral oxygen saturation level recorded at a specific care delivery location, typically expressed as a percentage (SpO2). Captured as a vital sign in clinical documentation systems to monitor respiratory status, guide clinical intervention, and track patient outcomes across inpatient and outpatient settings.

The total dollar amount reimbursed or paid to a care delivery location for services rendered, as recorded in billing or claims processing systems. Reflects adjudicated payment amounts after contractual adjustments, reflecting actual revenue received by the facility for a given service or claim period.

The date on which payment was issued or received by a care delivery location for services rendered. Recorded in billing and accounts receivable systems to track revenue cycle performance, reconcile claims, and report on payment lag times between claim submission and remittance.

The identifier of the higher-level organizational entity to which a care delivery location belongs within a facility hierarchy. Used in healthcare data systems to link satellite clinics, departments, or sub-facilities to their managing health system, hospital, or corporate entity for rollup reporting and administration.

A proportional value expressed as a percentage associated with a care delivery location, used in contexts such as reimbursement rate calculations, cost allocation, contractual adjustments, or performance metrics. Supports financial analytics and operational reporting at the individual facility level within multi-site health networks.

The defined time interval or reporting cycle associated with a care delivery location's operational, clinical, or financial data. Used in scheduling, billing, and performance reporting systems to scope data to specific measurement windows such as contract terms, fiscal quarters, or clinical episodes.

The primary landline or direct telephone number for a care delivery location, used by patients, providers, and health plans to contact the facility. Stored in provider directories, credentialing databases, and member-facing systems to support appointment scheduling, referral coordination, and administrative communications.

The informal or commonly used name by which a care delivery location is known, distinct from its legal or registered name. Used in patient communications, wayfinding materials, and operational systems where a shortened or colloquial facility name improves clarity and recognition over the formal entity name.

The established charge or cost amount associated with a service, procedure, or resource at a specific care delivery location. Used in healthcare billing, contract management, and price transparency systems to reflect facility-level pricing before insurance adjustments, reflecting the chargemaster or negotiated rate at that site.

Flag identifying whether a care delivery location, such as a clinic, hospital, or treatment facility, is designated as the primary site among multiple associated sites. Used in provider network management and facility credentialing to distinguish the main operating location from satellite or secondary sites.

Numeric or coded ranking that determines the order in which a care delivery location is considered or contacted during care coordination, referral routing, or resource allocation workflows. Supports scheduling systems and network management by establishing precedence among multiple eligible facility sites.

Patient heart rate measurement recorded at a specific clinical care site or during a specific encounter at that location. Captured as part of vital signs documentation in clinical data systems, linking the physiological observation to the facility or care setting where it was obtained.

Numeric count representing a measurable volume or amount associated with a care delivery location, such as the number of treatment bays, procedure rooms, beds, or service units available or utilized at that specific facility site within a given reporting period.

Demographic classification capturing the predominant or aggregated racial composition of patients served at a specific care delivery location. Used in population health reporting, health equity analysis, and facility-level demographic profiling to assess disparities in access and care across different sites.

Contracted or calculated reimbursement rate applicable to services rendered at a specific care delivery location. Used in claims pricing, fee schedule management, and network contracting to apply site-specific payment differentials, such as hospital outpatient versus physician office rates.

Assessed quality or performance score assigned to a care delivery location based on clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction surveys, safety metrics, or accreditation results. Used in network performance management, member-facing provider directories, and value-based care program evaluations.

Calculated proportional value comparing two related measures at a care delivery location, such as staff-to-patient ratios, utilization rates, or resource allocation percentages. Used in operational benchmarking and facility performance reporting to evaluate efficiency and capacity at a specific site.

Descriptive text or coded value explaining why a specific care delivery location was selected, changed, flagged, or assigned a particular status. Supports clinical documentation, referral management, and administrative workflows by capturing the rationale behind site-related decisions or actions.
