capacity assessmentcap_asmt

The clinical evaluation text documenting a patient's condition or needs as recorded within a capacity management workflow. Captures triage findings, acuity determinations, or bed placement criteria used to match patient requirements against available facility resources and unit-level capacity limits.

capacity balancecap_bal

The remaining financial obligation associated with a capacity-related encounter or service, calculated as the difference between billed charges and payments received. Used in revenue cycle tracking to monitor outstanding amounts tied to bed management, unit occupancy, or facility-level service transactions.

capacity billed amountcap_bill_amt

The total dollar amount invoiced for services rendered in connection with a capacity management event or facility-level encounter. Represents gross charges submitted to a payer or patient before adjustments, used in revenue cycle analysis and capacity cost reporting across inpatient or outpatient settings.

capacity birth datecap_birth_dt

The date of birth for an individual associated with a capacity management record, such as a patient tracked within a bed management or facility throughput system. Used to calculate patient age, verify identity, and support demographic reporting tied to occupancy and utilization analyses.

capacity blood pressurecap_bp

The systolic and diastolic arterial pressure measurement recorded for a patient within a capacity management or throughput tracking system. Captured at key patient flow milestones such as triage or admission to inform acuity scoring, bed placement decisions, and clinical prioritization against available capacity.

capacity cancelled datecap_cncl_dt

The date on which a capacity-related request, reservation, or patient placement event was formally cancelled within a bed management or facility throughput system. Used to track demand fluctuations, measure cancellation rates, and adjust real-time occupancy counts against available bed capacity.

capacity categorycap_cat

A classification grouping that identifies the type or nature of a capacity record within a facility management system, such as inpatient bed, observation, ICU, or procedure room. Used to segment occupancy data by service line, enabling targeted reporting on utilization patterns and capacity planning by care setting.

capacity charge amountcap_chrg_amt

The gross dollar value of charges associated with a specific capacity-related service or facility event, recorded before any payer adjustments or contractual discounts. Used in financial reporting to quantify revenue generated per bed, unit, or occupancy event within hospital cost accounting and capacity management systems.

capacity chief complaintcap_cc

The primary symptom or reason for visit documented by or for a patient at the point of entry into a capacity management workflow. Used to support triage prioritization, acuity-based bed assignment, and analysis of presenting conditions relative to unit-level capacity availability and patient flow demand.

capacity childcap_chld

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.

capacity citycap_city

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.

capacity classcap_cls

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.

capacity codecap_cd

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.

capacity commentcap_cmt

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.

capacity completed datecap_cmpl_dt

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.

capacity confidential indicatorcap_conf_ind

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.

capacity countcap_cnt

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.

capacity countrycap_ctry

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.

capacity created bycap_crtd_by

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.

capacity created datecap_crtd_dt

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.
