Used in pharmacy dispensing and prior authorization workflows to prioritize substitution decisions when a prescribed medication is unavailable or not covered under the member's formulary.

The monetary or quantitative measure assigned to a drug substitution transaction, representing cost savings, allowed amount, or dispensed quantity of the substituted medication. Used in pharmacy benefit management and reporting to assess the financial impact of generic and therapeutic substitution programs.

The version number of a drug substitution record, formulary rule, or therapeutic interchange protocol, used to track iterative updates in pharmacy benefit management systems. Ensures the correct and most current substitution criteria are applied during claims adjudication and dispensing decisions.

The postal code associated with a dispensed drug substitution, typically a generic replacing a brand-name medication. Used in pharmacy claims and dispensing records to identify the geographic location where the substitute medication was dispensed or originated.

The full mailing or physical address captured within a consolidated patient or encounter summary record. Used in care coordination and health information exchange workflows to ensure accurate contact and location details are included in summary documentation such as CCDs or discharge summaries.

Indicates whether a consolidated clinical or administrative summary document has been reviewed and approved by an authorized clinician or administrator. Tracks the workflow state of the summary through review stages such as pending, approved, or rejected prior to distribution or filing.

The total billed charge amount associated with a consolidated encounter or claims summary record. Represents the aggregate or line-level service charges captured for reporting, reconciliation, or billing purposes within revenue cycle management or claims adjudication workflows.

The date on which a consolidated clinical or administrative summary record becomes active or applicable. Used in care management, utilization review, and health information exchange workflows to establish the valid time period for the summarized information within the patient record.

The unique patient medical record number linked to a consolidated clinical summary document, such as a care plan, discharge summary, or CCD. Ensures the summary is correctly attributed to the patient across health information systems and during care transitions between facilities.

The calendar date on which a clinical or administrative summary activity is planned to occur, such as a scheduled review, care conference, or summary generation event. Used in care coordination and utilization management workflows to track upcoming summary-related tasks.

The specific time of day at which a clinical or administrative summary activity is planned, such as a care team review or summary distribution. Used alongside the scheduled date in care coordination workflows to manage timing of summary-related events and communications.

The street-level address component captured within a consolidated patient or encounter summary record. Used in health information exchange and care coordination workflows to maintain accurate patient or facility location details within summary documents such as CCDs or referral summaries.

The clinical unit, department, or ward associated with a consolidated patient summary record. Used in hospital and inpatient settings to identify the care unit where the patient was located or treated during the summarized encounter, supporting care transitions and reporting workflows.

The date on which a purchase order for medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, or equipment was placed with a vendor, used in supply chain analytics to calculate order lead times, measure vendor delivery performance, and ensure adequate inventory levels are maintained to prevent stockouts that could affect patient care or create compliance risks for regulated products.

The date on which ordered medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, or equipment were physically received and verified at a healthcare facility, used alongside the order date to calculate vendor lead times, measure receiving accuracy, and trigger inventory updates in materials management systems feeding clinical supply chain analytics.

The planned date on which a clinical supply or medical material item is scheduled to be delivered, dispensed, or utilized in a patient care setting. Used in surgical scheduling, materials management, and perioperative workflows to coordinate supply availability with planned procedures.
