outcome deleted indicatoroutc_del_ind

A flag indicating whether a treatment outcome record has been logically deleted from the active dataset without physical removal. Used in clinical data management to suppress voided or retracted outcome records from reporting and downstream workflows while preserving the historical audit record.

outcome descriptionoutc_desc

A free-text or standardized narrative describing the result of a clinical treatment or intervention, including patient response, resolution status, or condition change. Used in case management, care coordination, and clinical documentation to communicate the nature and context of a documented outcome.

outcome detailoutc_dtl

Granular supplemental information captured alongside a treatment outcome record, providing additional clinical or administrative context beyond the primary outcome classification. Used in care management platforms and clinical data warehouses to support nuanced analysis of patient results and intervention effectiveness.

outcome due dateoutc_due_dt

The target or expected date by which a treatment outcome should be assessed, documented, or acted upon within a care management workflow. Used in utilization management and case management systems to schedule follow-up reviews, goal evaluations, or clinical reassessments tied to a care plan outcome.

outcome durationoutc_dur

The measured length of time associated with a treatment outcome, such as how long a condition persisted, a symptom was present, or a care intervention remained active. Used in clinical analytics and population health reporting to evaluate the time course of patient responses to treatment.

outcome effective dateoutc_eff_dt

The date on which a treatment outcome record becomes active or clinically valid within a care management or clinical documentation system. Used to establish the start of the applicable period for a documented result, supporting longitudinal tracking of patient health status changes over time.

outcome emailoutc_eml

The electronic mail address associated with the individual or entity linked to a treatment outcome record, such as a care manager, patient, or referring clinician. Used in care coordination and outreach workflows to route outcome notifications, follow-up communications, or case management correspondence.

outcome emergency indicatoroutc_emerg_ind

A flag denoting that a treatment outcome was associated with an emergency clinical event or required urgent intervention. Used in care management, utilization review, and clinical analytics to identify and prioritize outcome records stemming from emergent care episodes versus routine or elective encounters.

outcome end dateoutc_end_dt

The calendar date marking the conclusion of a treatment outcome's active or applicable period within a care management or clinical system. Used to define the close of a care episode, goal period, or monitored condition, supporting longitudinal reporting and outcome interval calculations.

outcome end timeoutc_end_tm

The specific time of day at which a treatment outcome's active period concludes, used alongside the outcome end date for precise temporal documentation. Relevant in acute care and procedural settings where the exact end time of a clinical result or intervention period must be recorded for accuracy.

outcome entered byoutc_ent_by

The user identifier or name of the staff member who initially recorded a treatment outcome into the clinical or administrative system. Used in audit trails, data quality reviews, and accountability tracking to associate outcome documentation with the individual responsible for data entry.

outcome ethnicityoutc_ethn

The self-reported or administratively assigned ethnicity of a patient associated with a treatment outcome record. Used in population health analytics, health equity reporting, and quality measure stratification to identify disparities in clinical outcomes across demographic groups.

outcome expiration dateoutc_exp_dt

The date after which a treatment outcome record, authorization, or associated clinical finding is no longer considered valid or applicable. Used in utilization management and care coordination systems to enforce review cycles, expire outdated outcome statuses, and trigger reassessment workflows.

outcome external identifieroutc_ext_id

A unique reference identifier assigned by an external system, partner organization, or trading partner to a treatment outcome record. Used in data exchange, interoperability workflows, and cross-system reconciliation to link internally tracked outcomes with corresponding records in external registries or partner platforms.

outcome faxoutc_fax

The facsimile telephone number associated with the individual or entity linked to a treatment outcome record, such as a treating clinician or facility. Used in care coordination and clinical communication workflows to route outcome documentation, referral results, or follow-up instructions via fax transmission.

outcome feeoutc_fee

The monetary charge or reimbursement amount associated with the delivery or documentation of a treatment outcome, such as a care management service fee or outcome-based payment. Used in value-based care programs and case management billing to capture financial transactions tied to specific clinical results.

outcome first nameoutc_first_nm

The given name component of a labeled clinical or administrative outcome record. Used in care management platforms to identify named outcome measures, protocols, or patient-linked result entries in a human-readable display format across clinical data systems.

outcome flagoutc_flg

A binary or categorical marker indicating whether a specific clinical outcome condition has been met, triggered, or requires attention. Used in care management and population health systems to filter, prioritize, or escalate outcome records based on defined clinical or operational thresholds.

outcome frequencyoutc_freq

The rate or interval at which a clinical outcome is measured, assessed, or reported for a patient or population cohort. Used in care management and chronic disease programs to define how often outcome metrics such as lab values, symptom scores, or functional assessments are captured and evaluated.

outcome full nameoutc_full_nm

The complete concatenated name associated with a clinical outcome record, combining all name components into a single displayable string. Used in care management systems and clinical reporting to present outcome labels or patient-linked result records in their entirety for documentation and audit purposes.
