Quality

The medical record number of the patient associated with a specific clinical measurement. Links the recorded value to the patient's facility-level health record, enabling retrieval and integration of measurement data within EHR systems, clinical data warehouses, and care coordination workflows.

The middle name or initial of the patient associated with a clinical measurement record. Used in identity verification and patient matching processes within EHR and clinical data systems to reduce duplicate records and ensure accurate attribution of measurement data to the correct individual.

The lower boundary value defined for a clinical measurement, representing the lowest acceptable or observed result within a reference range or instrument scale. Used in EHR and clinical decision support systems to identify critically low values and enforce data validation for measurements such as heart rate, lab analytes, or oxygen saturation.

The mobile phone number of the patient or contact person associated with a clinical measurement record. Used in care coordination and outreach workflows to facilitate follow-up communication regarding abnormal results, appointment scheduling, or remote monitoring data collected from wearable or telehealth devices.

The system username or user identifier of the individual who last updated a clinical measurement record. Captured in EHR audit trails and clinical data warehouses to maintain data integrity, support compliance reviews, and track corrections or amendments made to observed clinical values.

The calendar date on which a clinical measurement record was last updated or corrected in the system. Used in EHR audit logs and clinical data warehouses to track amendments to recorded values, supporting data integrity reviews, regulatory compliance, and longitudinal trend analysis of clinical observations.

The time of day at which a clinical measurement record was last updated or corrected in the system. Combined with the modified date, this field supports precise audit trail reconstruction in EHR and clinical data platforms, ensuring accurate sequencing of amendments to clinical values.

The human-readable label or display name assigned to a clinical measurement type, such as systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, or body mass index. Used in EHR interfaces, clinical reports, and data dictionaries to identify and present quantified health observations in a standardized and interpretable format.

Free-text annotation or clinical commentary attached to a specific measurement record, providing context about the conditions under which a value was obtained, patient-reported factors, or clinician observations. Used in EHR systems to supplement structured measurement data with qualitative information relevant to interpretation.

A system-assigned or externally defined reference number uniquely identifying a specific clinical measurement instance. Used in EHR and clinical data systems to track, retrieve, and cross-reference individual measurement records across encounters, supporting result reconciliation and longitudinal patient data management.

The date on which the condition, symptom, or physiological state captured by a clinical measurement first began. Recorded in EHR and clinical data systems to establish disease timeline, support differential diagnosis, and enable longitudinal analysis of patient health status relative to the progression of a clinical condition.

The recorded percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen in the patient's blood, typically measured via pulse oximetry or arterial blood gas analysis. Captured in EHR and clinical monitoring systems as a critical vital sign used to assess respiratory function, guide oxygen therapy, and monitor patients in acute or chronic care settings.

The dollar amount reimbursed or paid by a payer in relation to a clinical measurement service or procedure. Recorded in claims and financial data systems to support revenue cycle management, cost analysis, and reconciliation of billed versus paid amounts for diagnostic or monitoring services associated with clinical measurements.

The date on which payment was issued by a payer for a clinical measurement service or procedure. Recorded in claims and revenue cycle systems to track reimbursement timelines, reconcile accounts receivable, and support financial reporting for diagnostic or monitoring services associated with clinical measurements.

The higher-level measurement record or category to which a specific clinical measurement is hierarchically linked. Used in clinical data systems to organize related measurements within a structured hierarchy, enabling aggregation, rollup reporting, and navigation of nested measurement relationships such as composite scores or panel results.

A clinical measurement value expressed as a proportion of a whole, such as percent body fat, ejection fraction, or FEV1 percentage of predicted. Recorded in EHR and clinical data systems to quantify relative clinical findings, enabling comparison against reference ranges, population norms, and individual baseline values over time.

The defined time interval over which a clinical measurement is observed, collected, or evaluated. Used in quality reporting, chronic disease monitoring, and outcomes tracking to establish the window during which lab values, vital signs, or assessments are considered valid.

The telephone contact number associated with the source, facility, or clinician responsible for recording a clinical measurement. Used to facilitate follow-up on lab results, vital sign anomalies, or diagnostic readings documented in clinical data systems.

The documented clinical treatment or monitoring strategy associated with a specific measurement. Captures the intended follow-up actions, interventions, or care protocols ordered in response to a clinical value such as an abnormal lab result or vital sign reading.

The insurance policy identifier linked to a clinical measurement event, used to associate diagnostic or monitoring results with the correct coverage record. Supports claims adjudication, prior authorization, and medical necessity documentation for measured clinical services.
