indicator maximumind_max

The upper threshold value defined for a clinical or operational quality indicator. Measurements exceeding this ceiling trigger alerts or flag non-compliance in performance dashboards, quality reporting programs such as HEDIS, or clinical decision support workflows.

indicator middle nameind_mid_nm

The middle name or initial associated with a person-level quality indicator record, such as a patient or clinician linked to a measurement. Used for accurate identity matching and disambiguation in clinical registries, care gap tracking, and quality reporting systems.

indicator minimumind_min

The lower threshold value defined for a clinical or operational quality indicator. Measurements falling below this floor trigger alerts or flag non-compliance in performance dashboards, quality reporting programs such as HEDIS, or clinical decision support workflows.

indicator mobileind_mob

The mobile phone number associated with a person linked to a quality indicator record, such as a patient enrolled in a care management program. Used for outreach, care gap closure communications, and follow-up contact in population health management workflows.

indicator modified byind_mod_by
