Supply

A medical device implanted in the body that uses an electrical power source to function including pacemakers, cochlear implants, and neurostimulators. AIMD standards are regulated by FDA and documented in hospital device registries, EHR implant records, and medical device adverse event reporting systems.

An international standards organization whose specifications are referenced in healthcare data interoperability frameworks, including ASTM E1238 for lab data messaging and ASTM CCR (Continuity of Care Record). ASTM standards inform EHR data exchange protocols and have influenced the development of HL7 CCD and FHIR document structures.

A structured list of raw materials, components, and quantities required to manufacture a product or compound a medication. Used in hospital pharmacy compounding records, pharmaceutical manufacturing systems, and supply chain management to document formulation ingredients and quantities.

A specialized medical device that mechanically prevents the escape of hazardous drug vapors or liquids during preparation and administration, tracked in pharmacy dispensing systems and hospital supply chain platforms. Data elements include device type, lot number, and usage logs for compliance and safety reporting.

The negotiated fee schedule between payers and providers or PBMs and pharmacies, stored in contract management and claims adjudication systems. Data engineers apply contract pricing logic to calculate allowed amounts, validate reimbursement accuracy, and support financial reconciliation across network tiers.

The maximum allowable reimbursement amount negotiated between a payer and a contracted provider, stored as allow_amt in claims adjudication systems. Data engineers use this field to calculate member cost-sharing, validate payment accuracy against fee schedules, and support network adequacy financial modeling.

A numeric field in pharmacy claims and PBM adjudication systems representing the estimated number of days a dispensed medication quantity will last based on the prescribed dosing regimen. Days supply is used to calculate refill eligibility windows, measure medication adherence metrics, and detect early refills or potential diversion in controlled substance monitoring programs.

An FDA-required compilation of records documenting the complete production history of a finished medical device, including manufacturing dates, quantities, and quality control results. Used by data engineers integrating quality management systems (QMS) with regulatory reporting platforms to ensure traceability and 21 CFR Part 820 compliance.

An FDA-mandated compilation of records containing the design specifications, formulas, manufacturing procedures, and quality standards for a finished medical device per 21 CFR Part 820. Used by data engineers integrating QMS and PLM systems to support device traceability, regulatory submissions, and production data reconciliation workflows.

In claims and EHR systems, DME refers to reusable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, oxygen concentrators, and CPAP machines billed under HCPCS codes. Captured in 837P/837I transactions and adjudicated through PBM or medical benefit in claims platforms.

A pharmacy dispensing event (emrg_supply) where a limited medication quantity is dispensed without a valid prescription during urgent circumstances, tracked in PBM and pharmacy claims systems. Governed by state regulations and payer contracts; requires special handling codes in NCPDP transaction records for adjudication.

An EU regulatory database system storing medical device registration, clinical investigation, and vigilance reporting data under the EU MDR framework. Referenced in medical device data governance, post-market surveillance pipelines, and regulatory submission workflows for manufacturers operating within European healthcare data environments.

In healthcare supply chain and pharmacy data systems, Hazmat refers to substances requiring special handling, storage, and disposal per regulatory standards such as OSHA and EPA. Flagged in inventory and EHR systems to ensure compliance with safety protocols and prevent adverse exposure events.

A global regulatory body whose standards and device classification frameworks are referenced in EHR, supply chain, and medical device tracking systems. IMDRF codes and guidelines inform unique device identifier (UDI) data governance, adverse event reporting workflows, and procurement compliance within healthcare data management platforms.

A structured dataset in pharmacy, supply chain, and healthcare operations systems representing the current stock of medications, supplies, and equipment at a given location. Inventory records store attributes including item NDC or SKU, quantity on hand, storage location, expiration dates, lot numbers, and reorder thresholds, supporting procurement, dispensing accuracy, and regulatory compliance workflows.

An FDA regulatory designation (IDE) permitting the use of an unapproved medical device in clinical trials. Captured in EHR and clinical trial data systems to flag device-related procedures and claims, ensuring compliance with CMS billing rules that restrict reimbursement for non-approved investigational devices.

The exact dollar amount paid by the payer for a single service line within an 835 remittance advice transaction, corresponding to the SVC03 element. Used in claims adjudication and payment reconciliation pipelines to validate reimbursement accuracy against submitted charges at the line level.

A continuous, real-time inventory tracking methodology used in healthcare supply chain and pharmacy systems to maintain up-to-date counts of medications, supplies, and equipment. In EHR-integrated pharmacy and materials management platforms, perpetual inventory supports automated reorder triggers, shrinkage detection, and regulatory compliance auditing.

Specialized garments, devices, or gear worn by healthcare workers to minimize exposure to infectious agents, chemical hazards, or physical risks. In healthcare data systems, PPE usage is tracked through supply chain management, incident reporting, and infection control modules within EHR and hospital operations platforms to support OSHA and CMS compliance.

A manual or system-assisted count of all physical healthcare supplies, pharmaceuticals, or DME assets at a specific location and point in time. Used in hospital ERP, pharmacy, and supply chain management systems to reconcile on-hand quantities against recorded inventory and identify shrinkage or discrepancies.
