Operations

Defines the intended or goal-level occupancy or throughput volume for a facility, unit, or service line, against which actual census figures are compared. Used in capacity planning and performance management to measure operational efficiency and identify when units are operating above or below optimal thresholds.

Stores the NUCC Health Care Provider Taxonomy code that classifies the specialty or service type associated with a specific capacity limit, such as codes distinguishing inpatient psychiatric beds from general medical-surgical beds. Used to align capacity records with specialty-specific regulatory and credentialing requirements.

Records the environmental or storage temperature requirement associated with a capacity-limited resource, most commonly used in pharmacy or laboratory settings to define thresholds for refrigerated medication storage or biological specimen capacity. Supports compliance with cold chain management and storage regulations.

Records the calendar date on which a specific facility, unit, or service capacity limit expires or is deactivated. Used in capacity management systems to close out temporary capacity expansions, surge authorizations, or seasonal service adjustments and maintain accurate historical capacity records.

Captures the specific time of day associated with a facility or unit capacity measurement or limit, used to support intraday census snapshots and time-based capacity reporting. Enables operational teams to identify peak demand periods and adjust staffing or patient flow protocols accordingly.

Records the combined date and time at which a facility or unit capacity value was recorded, updated, or transmitted. Used in bed management and patient flow systems to maintain a precise audit trail of capacity changes, enabling real-time monitoring and retrospective analysis of census fluctuations.

Stores the formal name or label assigned to a specific capacity record, such as a unit designation, program name, or service line title like Adult ICU or Outpatient Infusion Suite. Used in capacity management reporting to provide human-readable identification of the resource or setting being tracked.

Represents the aggregate sum of all available, occupied, or authorized units across a facility or defined service area, such as total licensed beds or total appointment slots. Used in executive dashboards and regulatory reporting to present a complete picture of a facility's overall operational capacity.

Records the cumulative number of capacity units counted across all applicable categories or time intervals for a facility or service, such as total bed-days available or total patient encounters allowed. Used in capacity utilization analysis and volume-based contract reporting to quantify overall throughput limits.

Classifies the nature or category of a capacity limit, such as licensed beds, staffed beds, operational beds, appointment slots, or infusion chairs. Used in healthcare capacity management systems to distinguish between different resource types when calculating availability, utilization rates, and compliance with regulatory capacity standards.

The unit of measure defining how a facility or service capacity limit is quantified, such as beds, appointment slots, or procedure rooms. Used in facility management systems to standardize capacity tracking across departments and care settings.

The most recent date on which a facility or service capacity limit was modified in the system. Used in facility management and scheduling systems to audit changes to bed counts, appointment slots, or other capacity constraints over time.

The time-sensitivity classification assigned to a capacity limit or constraint, indicating how quickly the capacity issue must be addressed. Used in facility operations to prioritize resource allocation decisions during high-demand or emergency situations.

The sequential version number assigned to a capacity record each time it is updated, enabling historical tracking of capacity limit changes. Used in facility management systems to maintain a complete audit trail of capacity modifications over time.

The five or nine-digit postal code associated with the physical location of a facility or service site where a capacity limit applies. Used in facility management and network planning systems to geographically identify and report on capacity constraints by location.

Physical location data element (card_addr) stored in provider master files, EHR practice management systems, and claims databases to capture the street address of cardiology specialty practices. Used in provider directory maintenance, network adequacy reporting, referral routing workflows, and care coordination systems for cardiovascular specialty services.

Identifies the date on which a cardiology-related record, authorization, contract term, or provider designation becomes active within EHR, payer, or provider management systems. Used in temporal filtering logic during ETL processing to ensure only currently valid cardiology data is surfaced in operational and analytical reporting.

The calendar date on which a cardiology appointment or cardiac procedure is planned to occur. Used in cardiology scheduling systems to coordinate patient access to heart specialty services including consultations, stress tests, echocardiograms, and interventional procedures.

The specific clock time at which a cardiology appointment or cardiac procedure is planned to begin. Used in cardiology scheduling systems alongside the scheduled date to manage patient flow, staff assignments, and equipment availability for cardiac care services.

The physical street address of the cardiology practice, clinic, or hospital department where cardiac care services are delivered. Used in provider directories, referral management, and patient scheduling systems to direct patients to the correct cardiology service location.
