Operations

The date on which a patient accommodation unit record or status becomes active and operationally valid within EHR, ADT, or facility management systems. Used in slowly changing dimension modeling to track bed configuration changes, designations, or availability windows for historical census and capacity planning analytics.

The electronic mail address associated with a patient accommodation unit or its responsible contact in hospital information systems. Typically used for automated clinical alert routing, housekeeping notifications, or bed management communications, linking the physical bed entity to a contactable endpoint within facility workflow and notification systems.

A flag designating that a specific bed is assigned or reserved for emergency admission cases, or that the current bed occupancy originated from an emergency department encounter. Used in inpatient census and capacity management systems to prioritize bed allocation, track emergency throughput, and support regulatory reporting requirements.

The date marking the conclusion of a patient accommodation unit record's active period or assignment in EHR and ADT systems. Used in slowly changing dimension type 2 models to close historical bed configuration records, support occupancy window calculations, and define the boundaries of a patient's stay at a specific bed location.

The exact timestamp recording when a patient's occupancy of a specific inpatient bed concluded, whether due to discharge, transfer, or death. Used in hospital bed management systems to calculate bed availability, measure bed turnover intervals, and support accurate inpatient census and utilization reporting.

The identifier of the staff member or system process responsible for manually inputting a bed assignment, availability update, or configuration record into the hospital information system. Stored for audit trail purposes to support data governance, error resolution, and accountability tracking within inpatient bed management workflows.

The recorded ethnicity of the patient currently assigned to a specific inpatient bed, captured during admission registration. Used in hospital clinical and administrative systems to support demographic reporting, health equity analytics, and compliance with federal and state mandated race and ethnicity data collection standards.

The date after which a patient accommodation unit record, designation, or status is no longer considered valid in EHR or facility management systems. Used in SCD type 2 modeling and ADT configuration audits to flag outdated bed assignments, decommissioned units, or lapsed specialty designations requiring refresh in clinical data pipelines.

A reference identifier assigned by an external system, such as an interfacing EHR, regional health information exchange, or third-party bed management platform, used to uniquely identify a bed record across organizational boundaries. Supports interoperability and data reconciliation between internal hospital systems and external healthcare partners.

The facsimile telephone number associated with a specific nursing unit, care area, or bed location within a hospital facility. Used in hospital directory and communication systems to route clinical documentation, referral orders, and patient transfer paperwork to the correct inpatient unit managing the bed assignment.

The standard charge assessed for inpatient bed accommodation services, representing the room and board component of a hospital bill. Used in hospital chargemaster and revenue cycle systems to establish the base billing rate for overnight bed occupancy, which is then adjusted based on payer contracts and patient insurance plan terms.

The primary label or given name assigned to a specific bed unit within a facility's bed management system. Used to identify individual beds within a room or ward, supporting patient placement, census tracking, and bed board displays in hospital information systems.

A binary or coded status marker associated with a patient accommodation unit in EHR, ADT, or hospital information systems. Indicates specific conditions such as isolation precautions, equipment availability, out-of-service status, or specialty designation, enabling filtered queries in bed board systems and clinical data warehouse capacity reporting.

The rate or interval at which a bed unit is tracked, reported, or cycled through occupancy statuses within facility management workflows. Captures how often bed availability, turnover, or utilization metrics are recorded in hospital capacity management and operational reporting systems.

The complete descriptive name assigned to a bed unit, typically combining ward, room, and bed identifiers into a single human-readable label. Used in hospital information systems for bed board displays, patient assignment workflows, and facility capacity reporting across inpatient settings.

The sex-based designation or restriction assigned to a bed unit, indicating whether the bed is allocated for male, female, or mixed-gender patient use. Used in inpatient bed management systems to support appropriate patient placement and comply with same-sex accommodation policies.

A clinical measurement attribute associated with a bed unit, capturing blood glucose monitoring data linked to the bed's current occupant. Used in inpatient clinical data systems to track point-of-care glucose readings by bed location for nursing workflow and clinical documentation purposes.

A numeric identifier that associates a bed unit with a logical grouping within a facility, such as a pod, wing, or care zone. Used in hospital bed management systems to organize beds into operational clusters for staffing assignments, capacity planning, and census reporting workflows.

A clinical measurement attribute linked to a bed unit, recording hemoglobin lab values associated with the patient currently occupying that bed. Used in inpatient clinical data systems to correlate laboratory results with bed location for nursing documentation and clinical decision support workflows.

A clinical documentation attribute associated with a bed unit, capturing the narrative description of the current patient's presenting condition and symptom progression. Linked to the occupied bed in inpatient EHR systems to support clinical documentation, handoff communication, and care coordination workflows.
