Quality

Classifies a patient satisfaction or clinical outcomes survey into a defined grouping such as inpatient experience, ambulatory care, discharge follow-up, or disease-specific outcomes. Used to organize survey instruments and route results to appropriate quality improvement programs and reporting dashboards.

Captures the patient's primary presenting symptom or reason for the clinical encounter as documented within a satisfaction or outcomes survey record. Links subjective patient experience feedback to the clinical context of the visit, supporting root cause analysis in quality improvement workflows.

Identifies a subordinate or dependent survey record linked to a parent survey in a hierarchical survey structure. Used when a primary survey spawns follow-up or sub-surveys, enabling multi-level patient feedback collection and nested response tracking across related survey instruments.

Records the municipality name associated with the patient's address as captured in a satisfaction or outcomes survey record. Used in geographic analysis of patient experience data to identify regional care quality patterns, service area trends, and population health disparities across communities.

Designates the classification tier assigned to a patient satisfaction or clinical outcomes survey, such as HCAHPS, CAHPS, or internally developed instruments. Used to differentiate regulatory-required surveys from voluntary feedback tools and to apply appropriate scoring and reporting methodologies.

A standardized alphanumeric identifier assigned to a specific patient satisfaction or clinical outcomes survey instrument. Serves as the primary reference key used to uniquely identify, retrieve, and cross-reference survey records across quality management systems and patient experience reporting platforms.

Stores unstructured free-text narrative entered by a patient, caregiver, or staff member within a satisfaction or outcomes survey. Used in qualitative analysis and sentiment review processes to capture verbatim feedback that supplements structured survey question responses in quality improvement programs.

Records the calendar date on which a patient satisfaction or clinical outcomes survey was fully submitted or finalized. Used to calculate survey completion cycle times, monitor response timeliness relative to the associated care encounter, and report on survey administration performance metrics.

A binary flag designating whether a patient satisfaction or outcomes survey response is classified as confidential, restricting access to authorized personnel only. Used to enforce privacy controls on sensitive patient feedback, ensuring compliance with data governance policies in quality management systems.

Represents the total number of survey instances, responses, or attempts associated with a patient, encounter, or program within a defined period. Used in survey administration reporting to measure outreach volume, response rates, and distribution effectiveness across patient satisfaction and outcomes programs.

Records the nation associated with a patient's address as captured in a satisfaction or outcomes survey record. Used in geographic segmentation of patient experience data to support international care quality benchmarking, compliance reporting, and population health analysis across national boundaries.

Identifies the user account responsible for initially creating a patient satisfaction or clinical outcomes survey record in the system. Used in audit trail tracking and administrative accountability workflows to document who originated the survey instrument or patient-specific survey instance.

Records the calendar date on which a patient satisfaction or clinical outcomes survey record was first created in the system. Used in audit logging, survey lifecycle tracking, and administrative reporting to establish the origination point of a survey record relative to the associated patient encounter.

Records the clock time at which a patient satisfaction or clinical outcomes survey record was first created in the system. Used alongside the created date in audit trail documentation and survey lifecycle analysis to establish precise record origination timestamps for administrative and compliance reporting.

Serum creatinine value recorded at the time of a clinical or quality survey, used to assess kidney function as part of chronic disease management programs such as CKD, diabetes, or hypertension monitoring tracked within clinical data warehouses.

The calendar date on which a clinical, quality, or patient experience survey was administered or completed. Used in longitudinal care tracking, HEDIS measure reporting, and population health programs to establish when patient data was collected relative to care events.

The precise date and time at which a clinical or patient experience survey was administered or submitted. Supports time-stamped audit trails, care gap closure tracking, and sequential analysis of patient-reported outcomes within clinical data warehouses.

The DEA registration number of the prescribing clinician associated with a clinical survey record. Used to link survey responses to a specific licensed provider in controlled substance monitoring programs and clinical quality reporting workflows.

The recorded date of death for a patient who had an active or pending survey record. Used to close open survey workflows, exclude deceased members from follow-up outreach, and maintain accurate population health rosters in clinical data systems.

The date on which a survey record was logically removed from the active dataset. Used in clinical data warehouses and quality reporting systems to support audit trails, data governance, and the recovery or exclusion of voided survey responses.
