survey onset datesurv_onset_dt

Captures the date on which the conditions, symptoms, or circumstances being assessed in a clinical survey first began. Used in outcomes research and patient-reported data collection to establish a clinical timeline and correlate survey responses with care events.

survey oxygen saturationsurv_o2sat

Records a patient's peripheral oxygen saturation percentage (SpO2) as captured within a clinical survey instrument. Used in remote monitoring, patient-reported vital sign collection, and chronic disease management programs to assess respiratory status outside direct clinical encounters.

survey paid amountsurv_pd_amt

Records the monetary amount paid in connection with a survey administration activity, such as patient incentive payments or vendor reimbursements. Used to track financial transactions associated with patient outreach and survey program cost management in healthcare operations.

survey paid datesurv_pd_dt

Captures the date on which a payment associated with a survey activity was processed, such as a patient incentive or vendor reimbursement. Used in financial reconciliation and program administration tracking within healthcare survey management workflows.

survey parentsurv_prnt

Identifies the higher-level survey or survey category to which a sub-survey or survey component belongs. Supports hierarchical survey design, enabling nested question sets and modular survey structures used in complex patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes measurement programs.

survey percentagesurv_pct

Captures a calculated percentage value derived from survey responses or completion metrics, such as response rates, scoring results, or threshold achievements. Used in quality reporting and patient satisfaction analytics to benchmark performance across healthcare programs.

survey periodsurv_prd

Defines the designated time interval during which a patient satisfaction or clinical survey is administered or its data is collected. Used in outcomes measurement and quality reporting to align survey results with specific care periods, fiscal quarters, or regulatory reporting cycles.

survey phonesurv_ph

Stores the telephone number used to contact a patient or respondent for survey administration purposes. Supports outreach coordination for phone-based patient satisfaction surveys, such as CAHPS or post-discharge follow-up calls, within healthcare contact center workflows.

survey preferred namesurv_pref_nm

Stores the patient's or respondent's preferred name as indicated for use during survey outreach and communication. Supports personalized patient engagement in satisfaction surveys and clinical questionnaires, improving response rates and patient experience in healthcare data collection.

survey pricesurv_prc

Records the cost associated with a survey program or instrument, such as vendor licensing fees or per-unit administration costs. Used in healthcare program budgeting and financial tracking to manage expenditures related to patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes survey initiatives.

survey primary indicatorsurv_prim_ind

A flag that designates whether a survey record is the primary or principal survey associated with a patient, encounter, or program. Used to distinguish the main survey from supplemental or follow-up instruments in multi-survey healthcare data collection workflows.

survey prioritysurv_prty

Indicates the relative importance or urgency assigned to a patient survey for outreach or review purposes. Used in healthcare survey administration workflows to triage survey completion efforts, prioritize follow-up actions, and manage workload in patient engagement programs.

survey pulsesurv_pulse

Records a patient's heart rate in beats per minute as captured through a clinical survey or patient-reported data instrument. Used in remote patient monitoring programs, chronic disease management, and post-acute care follow-up to track cardiovascular status outside direct clinical encounters.

survey quantitysurv_qty

Captures a numeric count or volume associated with a survey record, such as the number of survey attempts, completed responses, or distributed questionnaires. Used in healthcare survey program management to monitor outreach volume and track completion rates across patient populations.

survey racesurv_race

Records the racial identity of a survey respondent as self-reported or captured during patient survey administration. Used in health equity analysis, quality measure stratification, and disparity reporting to identify gaps in care and outcomes across diverse patient populations.

survey ratesurv_rt

The frequency or response rate associated with a patient or member feedback survey, indicating the proportion of distributed surveys that were completed and returned. Used in quality measurement programs such as CAHPS, HEDIS, and patient satisfaction initiatives to evaluate engagement and statistical validity of survey results.

survey ratingsurv_rtg

The numeric or categorical score assigned by a respondent within a patient experience or satisfaction survey, such as a 1-10 scale response to care quality questions. Used in CAHPS, Press Ganey, or internal quality programs to benchmark performance across care settings, facilities, or health plan member populations.

survey ratiosurv_ratio

The proportional relationship between survey responses and a defined population or benchmark, such as the ratio of satisfied members to total respondents. Used in health plan quality reporting, HEDIS measurement, and CMS Star Ratings calculations to assess relative performance across care dimensions or demographic segments.

survey reasonsurv_rsn

The coded or free-text explanation identifying why a specific survey was initiated, modified, or closed, such as post-discharge follow-up, chronic disease management, or care gap outreach. Used in member engagement and quality improvement workflows to categorize survey activity and support population health program tracking.

survey received datesurv_rcvd_dt

The calendar date on which a completed patient or member survey response was received and logged into the data system. Used in quality measurement workflows to calculate response timeliness, determine inclusion in reporting periods, and support CAHPS or CMS Star Ratings data submission deadlines and audit trails.
