bed approved bybed_appr_by

The authorizing user for a patient accommodation unit. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed arrival timebed_arrv_tm

The patient arrival time for a patient accommodation unit. Used to track temporal information related to bed arrival time. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed arrived datebed_arrv_dt

The patient arrival date for a patient accommodation unit. Used to track temporal information related to bed arrived date. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed assessmentbed_asmt

The clinical evaluation text for a patient accommodation unit. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed balancebed_bal

The outstanding monetary amount remaining on a patient bed or accommodation charge after payments, adjustments, and contractual write-offs have been applied within hospital billing and accounts receivable systems. Data engineers reference this field in aging reports, denial management workflows, and revenue cycle dashboards to monitor unpaid facility balances.

bed billed amountbed_bill_amt

The invoice total value for a patient accommodation unit. Used to capture financial data associated with bed transactions. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed birth datebed_birth_dt

A date field within patient accommodation or ADT records that associates a date of birth value with a specific bed assignment, typically used to validate patient identity during bed placement or to support age-based clinical and billing rules in EHR and facility management systems. Used by data engineers for patient matching and demographic validation.

bed blood pressurebed_bp

The arterial pressure value for a patient accommodation unit. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed cancelled datebed_cncl_dt

The cancellation date for a patient accommodation unit. Used to track temporal information related to bed cancelled date. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed categorybed_cat

A classification field designating the type or functional grouping of a patient bed, such as medical-surgical, intensive care, or observation, within facility management and ADT systems. Data engineers use this field to segment census data, calculate occupancy metrics by care level, and support capacity planning and payer-specific billing rule applications.

bed charge amountbed_chrg_amt

The service charge value for a patient accommodation unit. Used to capture financial data associated with bed transactions. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed chief complaintbed_cc

The primary symptom reported for a patient accommodation unit. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed childbed_chld

A hierarchical relationship field in facility management or ADT systems that identifies a subordinate bed record linked to a parent unit or room, enabling structured representation of nested bed configurations. Data engineers use this parent-child relationship to build bed hierarchy models supporting census reporting, capacity analytics, and facility layout data governance.

bed citybed_city

The municipality name for a patient accommodation unit. Used in healthcare data management and clinical workflows. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed classbed_cls

A tiered classification field distinguishing patient beds by care intensity or service level, such as acute, sub-acute, or skilled nursing, within hospital ADT and billing systems. Data engineers use bed class to apply appropriate billing rules, validate payer-specific accommodation codes, and segment inpatient utilization reporting by clinical care classification.

bed codebed_cd

A standardized alphanumeric code uniquely identifying a specific bed or accommodation type within facility management, ADT, and hospital billing systems. Data engineers use bed codes to join patient placement records with charge master entries, validate accommodation billing on UB-04 claims, and maintain referential integrity across inpatient and revenue cycle data pipelines.

bed coinsurance amountbed_coins_amt

The shared cost value for a patient accommodation unit. Used to capture financial data associated with bed transactions. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed commentbed_cmt

A free-text annotation field attached to a bed or accommodation record in EHR, ADT, or facility management systems, capturing operational notes such as maintenance status, isolation requirements, or special equipment needs. Data engineers must handle this unstructured field carefully during ETL processing, as it may contain clinically relevant or PII-adjacent information.

bed completed datebed_cmpl_dt

The service completion date for a patient accommodation unit. Used to track temporal information related to bed completed date. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.

bed confidential indicatorbed_conf_ind

The privacy protection flag for a patient accommodation unit. Used to track the current state or condition of the bed. This field is commonly used in electronic health records (EHR), healthcare information systems (HIS), and clinical data warehouses for bed management and reporting.
