A subordinate record or entity linked to a parent capacity record within a hierarchical facility management data model. Represents a dependent unit, sub-location, or nested event such as a bed within a ward, enabling granular tracking of occupancy, throughput, and resource availability at multiple levels of a facility hierarchy.
The municipality name associated with a facility, patient address, or service location recorded within a capacity management system. Used for geographic segmentation of capacity and utilization data, supporting regional demand planning, referral network analysis, and population-level reporting across health system service areas.
A classification tier designating the care level, service type, or bed class assigned within a capacity management system, such as acute, subacute, or long-term care. Drives bed assignment logic, occupancy reporting, and reimbursement differentiation by linking patient acuity to the appropriate facility resource tier.
A standardized alphanumeric identifier assigned to a specific capacity record, bed type, unit, or facility resource within a healthcare management system. Serves as the primary reference key for tracking occupancy status, linking patient flow events, and enabling consistent reporting across bed management, ADT, and operational dashboards.
Free-text notation entered by clinical or administrative staff to document additional context, exceptions, or operational notes associated with a capacity management record. Captures informal communications about bed holds, unit closures, special placement considerations, or throughput issues not represented in structured data fields.
The date on which a capacity-related event, such as a patient discharge, bed turnover, or placement request, was fully resolved within a facility throughput or bed management system. Used to calculate cycle times, measure capacity availability intervals, and assess operational efficiency across inpatient and outpatient care settings.
A binary flag identifying whether a capacity record or associated patient information is subject to heightened privacy restrictions, such as VIP status or sensitive diagnosis protections. Controls data access permissions within bed management and throughput systems to ensure compliance with HIPAA and facility confidentiality policies.
A numeric value representing the total number of capacity units, events, or records associated with a given facility, unit, or time period within a bed management system. Used to quantify available beds, active occupancy, pending placements, or throughput volumes for operational planning and utilization reporting.
The nation associated with a facility location or patient address recorded within a capacity management system. Used to support international health system reporting, cross-border referral tracking, and geographic segmentation of occupancy and utilization data for multinational healthcare organizations and population health analyses.
The unique identifier of the user, system, or process that originally generated a capacity record within a bed management or facility throughput system. Supports audit trail requirements, accountability tracking, and data governance by establishing ownership of capacity entries for compliance, quality review, and operational oversight purposes.
The date on which a capacity record defining a maximum volume limit was initially entered into the healthcare system. Used in capacity management workflows to establish audit trails and track when service volume constraints were first defined for scheduling or resource planning.
The timestamp recording the exact time a capacity record defining a maximum volume limit was first entered into the healthcare system. Supports audit logging and chronological sequencing of capacity configuration events within scheduling and resource management systems.
The creatinine level value recorded within a capacity context, representing a key kidney function biomarker used to assess renal health. In clinical data systems, this value informs treatment thresholds, medication dosing limits, and patient eligibility for specific procedures or interventions.
The specific calendar date associated with a capacity record that defines a maximum volume or service limit. Used in scheduling and resource management systems to identify when a particular capacity constraint is applicable for facility, staff, or service slot planning.
The combined date and time value associated with a capacity record, capturing the precise moment a maximum volume limit applies or was recorded. Used in scheduling systems to enable granular, time-sensitive capacity management for services, facilities, or clinical resources.
The Drug Enforcement Administration registration number associated with a capacity record, identifying the licensed prescriber or facility authorized to dispense controlled substances up to a defined volume limit. Used in pharmacy and prescribing systems to enforce regulatory compliance with controlled substance thresholds.
The date of death recorded in association with a capacity record, used to deactivate or close capacity allocations tied to a deceased patient or provider. Ensures that scheduling, enrollment, or service limit records are accurately terminated in clinical and administrative systems.
The date on which a capacity record defining a maximum volume limit was logically removed from the active dataset. Used in capacity management systems to maintain a historical audit trail of when service or resource constraints were retired without permanently purging the underlying data.
A flag denoting whether a capacity record defining a maximum volume limit has been logically removed from active use. Used in scheduling and resource management systems to filter out retired capacity constraints while preserving the historical record for audit and reporting purposes.
A human-readable text field providing narrative detail about the nature and purpose of a capacity record defining a maximum volume limit. Used in scheduling and resource management systems to clarify the scope, conditions, or rationale behind a specific service or facility constraint.
