supply onset datesupl_onset_dt

The date on which a clinical supply need or supply-related condition was first identified, such as when a recurring supply requirement began for a patient. Used in care management and clinical documentation to align supply utilization with the timeline of patient treatment or chronic care needs.

supply oxygen saturationsupl_o2sat

The blood oxygen saturation measurement associated with a patient encounter during which specific clinical supplies were used, such as oxygen delivery equipment or monitoring consumables. Links vital sign data to supply utilization records to support clinical documentation and charge capture.

supply paid amountsupl_pd_amt

The dollar amount paid for a clinical supply item as part of a procurement transaction or patient billing event. Captured in healthcare financial systems to support cost accounting, vendor payment reconciliation, and analysis of supply expenditures across departments or cost centers.

supply paid datesupl_pd_dt

The date on which payment was processed for a clinical supply item, either to a vendor through procurement or as part of a patient billing transaction. Used in healthcare financial systems to track payment cycles, reconcile accounts payable, and support supply cost reporting.

supply parentsupl_prnt

Hierarchical identifier linking a clinical supply item to its parent record in EHR and inventory management systems. Used by data engineers to traverse supply chain hierarchies, resolve item lineage, and support parent-child joins in materials management datasets.

supply percentagesupl_pct

Numeric ratio representing a proportion associated with a clinical supply item, such as formulary compliance rate or utilization share. Referenced in PBM, pharmacy, and claims analytics to measure supply distribution and cost allocation across healthcare data pipelines.

supply periodsupl_prd

Defined time span during which a clinical supply item is active, contracted, or dispensed, as recorded in EHR, procurement, and PBM systems. Critical for data engineers performing date-range filtering, trend analysis, and supply lifecycle reporting across enrollment and claims datasets.

supply phonesupl_ph

Telephone contact number associated with a clinical supply vendor, distributor, or fulfillment contact in procurement and EHR systems. Data engineers use this field for supplier master data management, deduplication, and vendor communication record linkage in materials management pipelines.

supply plansupl_pln

The documented strategy or protocol outlining how a specific clinical supply item will be sourced, stocked, and utilized within a healthcare facility. May include preferred vendors, reorder schedules, par level strategies, and clinical use guidelines to ensure consistent supply availability.

supply policy numbersupl_pol_nbr

The insurance or coverage policy identifier linked to a clinical supply transaction, used when supplies are billed to a health plan or payer. Associates supply dispensing or procurement records with the appropriate member insurance policy for claims adjudication and reimbursement processing.

supply preferred namesupl_pref_nm

The commonly used or preferred display name for a clinical supply item, which may differ from its formal catalog or manufacturer name. Used in healthcare materials management systems, clinical ordering interfaces, and supply chain workflows to ensure staff can easily identify and request items.

supply pricesupl_prc

The unit cost or contracted price assigned to a clinical supply item within the healthcare materials management or procurement system. Used for purchase order generation, budget tracking, cost center allocation, and financial reporting on medical supply expenditures across the facility.

supply primary indicatorsupl_prim_ind

A flag identifying whether a clinical supply item is the primary or preferred option within a category or substitution group. Used in healthcare procurement and clinical ordering systems to distinguish preferred formulary supplies from alternatives when multiple equivalent items are available.

supply prioritysupl_prty

Ranked importance value assigned to a clinical supply item indicating urgency of procurement or fulfillment in EHR and inventory systems. Used by data engineers to filter critical supply records, drive workflow automation, and support SLA-based supply chain reporting in healthcare data platforms.

supply pulsesupl_pulse

The patient heart rate measurement recorded during an encounter in which specific clinical supplies were used, such as cardiac monitoring consumables or resuscitation equipment. Links vital sign data to supply utilization records to support clinical documentation accuracy and charge capture workflows.

supply quantitysupl_qty

Numeric count or volume measure of a clinical supply item ordered, dispensed, or consumed as captured in EHR, pharmacy, and claims systems. Essential for data engineers calculating days supply, utilization rates, and inventory reconciliation across PBM and materials management datasets.

supply racesupl_race

The racial or ethnic classification of the patient associated with a clinical supply transaction. Captured to support health equity analysis, population health reporting, and disparity monitoring related to supply utilization patterns across different patient demographic groups in healthcare settings.

supply rangesupl_rng

Minimum and maximum boundary values defining acceptable or expected limits for a clinical supply item attribute in EHR and pharmacy systems. Data engineers use this field for data validation, outlier detection, and dosage or quantity threshold enforcement in supply chain analytics pipelines.

supply ratesupl_rt

Unit price or reimbursement value assigned to a clinical supply item as recorded in claims, procurement, and PBM systems. Data engineers reference this field for cost calculations, contract rate comparisons, and financial reconciliation across materials management and adjudication datasets.

supply ratingsupl_rtg

A quality or performance score assigned to a clinical supply item based on criteria such as vendor reliability, clinical effectiveness, or cost efficiency. Used in healthcare procurement and value analysis processes to evaluate and compare supply options during formulary reviews or contract negotiations.
