outcome scheduled timeoutc_sched_tm

Records the specific time of day at which a follow-up assessment or clinical review related to a patient outcome is planned to occur. Used alongside outcome scheduled date in care management systems to precisely coordinate clinical appointments tied to treatment result evaluation.

outcome scoreoutc_scr

Stores the numerical rating derived from a standardized clinical assessment tool measuring a patient treatment result, such as PROMIS, PHQ-9, or APACHE scores. Used in quality measurement and population health systems to quantify and compare patient outcomes across episodes of care.

outcome sequenceoutc_seq

Assigns a sequential order number to multiple outcome records associated with a single patient encounter or care episode, enabling correct ordering when multiple results are recorded. Used in clinical data warehouses to maintain the logical progression of treatment results over time.

outcome service dateoutc_svc_dt

Records the actual calendar date on which the clinical service or intervention producing the patient outcome was delivered. Used in claims, EHR, and quality reporting systems to timestamp treatment results and align outcomes with the corresponding episode of care.

outcome severityoutc_sev

Classifies the clinical seriousness of a patient treatment result using a standardized scale, such as mild, moderate, or severe. Used in clinical documentation and quality reporting systems to stratify outcomes, guide escalation decisions, and support risk-adjusted performance measurement.

outcome sexoutc_sex

Records the patient's biological sex as a demographic attribute associated with a clinical outcome record. Used in population health analytics and clinical research systems to support sex-stratified outcome analysis and identify disparities in treatment results across patient populations.

outcome sourceoutc_src

Identifies the originating system, data feed, or clinical encounter from which an outcome record was derived, such as a lab interface, patient-reported survey, or claims adjudication system. Used in data governance and integration workflows to trace and validate outcome data provenance.

outcome start dateoutc_start_dt

Records the calendar date marking the beginning of the clinical condition, intervention, or measurement period associated with a patient outcome. Used in EHR and care management systems to define the temporal boundaries of a treatment result and support longitudinal outcome tracking.

outcome start timeoutc_start_tm

Records the specific time of day marking the beginning of the clinical condition or intervention associated with a patient outcome. Used alongside outcome start date in clinical documentation systems to precisely timestamp the onset of a treatment result for time-sensitive care scenarios.

outcome stateoutc_st

Captures the U.S. state or territory associated with the location where a patient outcome was recorded or care was delivered. Used in population health and public health reporting systems to support geographic analysis of treatment results and regional quality benchmarking.

outcome statusoutc_sts

Indicates the current processing or clinical state of a patient outcome record, such as pending, confirmed, resolved, or closed. Used in care management and clinical workflow systems to track the lifecycle of a treatment result from initial documentation through final resolution.

outcome street addressoutc_st_addr

Captures the street-level address associated with the location where a clinical outcome was recorded or the patient resides. Used in population health and social determinants of health systems to support geographic analysis and connect treatment results with community-level factors.

outcome strengthoutc_str

Records the dosage concentration of a medication or therapeutic agent associated with a clinical outcome, expressed in standard units such as mg or mcg. Used in pharmacy and medication management systems to link drug dosing to treatment results and support adverse event analysis.

outcome subtotaloutc_subtot

Captures a partial aggregated value representing a subset of costs, scores, or measures associated with a group of clinical outcomes within a care episode. Used in financial and quality reporting systems to support itemized breakdowns before final totals are calculated for a patient encounter.

outcome system identifieroutc_sys_id

Stores the unique system-generated key assigned to a clinical outcome record within a healthcare information system, enabling consistent cross-system identification. Used in EHR integration and data warehouse environments to link, deduplicate, and audit patient treatment result records across platforms.

outcome targetoutc_tgt

Specifies the clinical goal or benchmark value that a treatment result is measured against, such as a target HbA1c level or blood pressure threshold. Used in care management and chronic disease management systems to assess whether patient outcomes have met established clinical objectives.

outcome taxonomy codeoutc_tax_cd

A structured classification code that categorizes a clinical or administrative treatment result within a standardized taxonomy system. Used in clinical data repositories to group, filter, and report outcomes by type, severity, or care domain for population health and quality analysis.

outcome temperatureoutc_temp

The numeric body temperature measurement recorded at the time a clinical outcome is documented, typically in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Captured in EHR and clinical data warehouses to assess patient status, monitor disease progression, and evaluate treatment response at the point of outcome recording.

outcome termination dateoutc_term_dt

The calendar date on which a documented clinical outcome was formally closed, resolved, or discontinued. Used in longitudinal patient records and clinical data warehouses to calculate outcome duration, track care episode boundaries, and support retrospective analysis of treatment effectiveness.

outcome timeoutc_tm

The specific time of day, in hours and minutes, at which a clinical outcome event was recorded or observed. Used in clinical data systems to establish precise sequencing of care events, support adverse event investigation, and enable time-based analysis of treatment results.
