Quality

A boolean or coded flag indicating whether a survey record has been logically deleted from the active dataset. Used in quality reporting and population health systems to filter out voided or retracted survey responses without physically removing the underlying record.

A human-readable text label or summary identifying the purpose and content of a clinical or patient experience survey. Used in quality reporting platforms and care management systems to distinguish between survey types such as CAHPS, HOS, or disease-specific assessments.

Granular line-level data captured within an individual survey record, such as specific question responses, scores, or clinical observations. Used in quality analytics and patient-reported outcome programs to support measure calculation and care intervention decisions.

The target date by which a clinical or patient experience survey must be completed to satisfy a quality measure, care gap requirement, or regulatory reporting obligation. Used in care management outreach workflows to prioritize member engagement activities.

The electronic mail address associated with the patient or respondent linked to a survey record. Used in digital outreach workflows to distribute survey invitations, reminders, and completion confirmations for patient experience and clinical quality programs.

The date on which a survey administration window closed or an individual respondent completed the survey. Used in quality reporting and population health programs to calculate survey response timelines and determine eligibility for measure denominator inclusion.

The clock time at which a survey session was completed or the administration window expired. Used alongside survey end date to calculate survey duration, support audit logging, and analyze respondent engagement patterns within clinical data platforms.

The identifier of the user or system that recorded the survey data into the clinical or quality management platform. Used for data governance, audit trail maintenance, and accountability tracking in patient-reported outcome and care gap closure workflows.

The self-reported or administratively assigned ethnicity of the patient associated with a survey record. Used in health equity analyses, HEDIS stratification reporting, and population health programs to identify and address disparities in care quality and access.

The date after which a survey record is no longer valid for quality measure submission or care gap closure credit. Used in clinical quality programs and HEDIS reporting to enforce measurement period boundaries and ensure only timely responses are included in calculations.

A reference identifier assigned by an external system, vendor, or partner organization to uniquely identify a survey record outside the primary clinical data warehouse. Used to reconcile and link survey data across third-party platforms, health plan portals, and registry systems.

The facsimile number associated with the patient, facility, or clinical contact linked to a survey record. Used in paper-based or hybrid survey outreach workflows to route completed clinical quality assessments and patient experience forms to the appropriate receiving entity.

The administrative or service charge associated with conducting or processing a clinical survey, such as fees billed by third-party survey vendors or health plan contractors. Used in quality program budgeting, vendor reconciliation, and survey administration cost tracking.

The given name of the patient or respondent associated with a survey record. Used in clinical and patient experience survey systems to personalize outreach communications, verify respondent identity, and match survey responses to the correct member or patient record.

Binary indicator denoting whether a patient experience or satisfaction survey has been triggered, completed, or requires action. Used in quality reporting workflows to filter survey records by active, inactive, suppressed, or pending status across survey administration platforms.

The complete descriptive title of a patient experience, satisfaction, or clinical outcome survey instrument, such as CAHPS or HCAHPS. Used in reporting dashboards and survey administration systems to identify the survey program in a human-readable format.

The self-reported or administratively assigned gender of the patient respondent captured at the time of survey administration. Used in stratified quality and patient experience analyses to identify disparities in care perception across demographic segments.

The blood glucose measurement recorded for the patient respondent as part of a clinical survey or health risk assessment. Used in chronic disease management programs and population health surveys to track glycemic control and assess patient-reported metabolic health status.

The hemoglobin level recorded for the patient respondent within a clinical survey or health risk assessment instrument. Used in population health and chronic disease surveys, such as diabetes management programs, to monitor HbA1c or hemoglobin values alongside patient-reported outcomes.

The unique alphanumeric key assigned to a specific patient survey instance within a survey administration system. Used to link survey responses to member records, care encounters, or health plan enrollment data across quality reporting and patient experience platforms.
