Interaction Provider
Interaction Provider
Introduction
The Interaction Provider data model is a comprehensive representation of patient interactions with healthcare providers throughout various stages of the patient journey. It is designed to capture essential data fields, with a focus on information extracted from the PV1 (Patient Visit) and ORC(Common Order Segment) segments of HL7 messages. This data model serves as a valuable resource for healthcare data management, enabling the tracking and analysis of patient-provider interactions within diverse healthcare contexts.
Use Case
Developers can leverage the Interaction Provider data model for a variety of use cases in the healthcare domain:
- Provider Performance Assessment: Healthcare organizations can use this model to assess the performance of different providers by analyzing data such as provider types, interaction IDs, and visit numbers. This aids in evaluating the quality of care delivered by individual healthcare professionals.
- Patient Interaction Tracking: Developers can query data fields like interaction IDs, visit numbers, and alternate visit IDs to construct detailed timelines of patient-provider interactions. This allows for a comprehensive view of patient journeys within healthcare facilities.
- Patient Identification: The model provides data elements like visit numbers and alternate visit IDs, enabling developers to accurately identify and track patients across multiple interactions with healthcare providers.
- Billing and Claims Processing: Healthcare billing and finance departments can benefit from querying data such as interaction IDs and provider IDs to ensure accurate billing, efficient insurance claims processing, and financial reporting.
- Quality Assurance: Healthcare quality assurance teams can use the model to assess the quality of care provided by different provider types. They can also analyze interaction types to ensure compliance with healthcare standards and best practices.
- Provider Type Analysis: Healthcare organizations can analyze provider type data to optimize staffing levels and allocate resources effectively based on the types of providers needed for specific patient interactions.
- Reporting and Compliance: The data model supports compliance reporting by providing essential data fields related to provider types, interaction IDs, and visit numbers. This ensures that healthcare organizations adhere to regulatory standards and guidelines.
- Outcome Analysis: Developers can use the model to correlate patient outcomes with specific provider interactions. This helps in identifying patterns and trends related to the effectiveness of different provider types and interaction types.
Data Fields
| Attribute Name | Description | HL7 Mapping | Data Type | Label | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| provider_type | Role of the provider | ORC-10, ORC-11, ORC-12, ORC-19 | string | Provider Type | This field may specify the identification of the healthcare provider or user who entered the order, who verified the order, who ordered the tests or procedures. Depending on the system configuration, this provider may be associated with a specific provider type or category. |
| interaction_id | This is interaction_id attribute | EVN+MSH-10, ORC, ORC+MSH-10 | string | Interaction ID | This field in the ORC segment is used to specify the control or interaction type for an order. It typically contains a code or identifier that represents the nature of the interaction. The value in ORC-8 can indicate whether it's a new order, an update, a cancelation, or another type of interaction. |
| provider_id | Id of the provider | ORC-10+MSH-10, SCH-20+MSH-10 | string | Provider Id | This field typically contains the identification of the healthcare provider who ordered a specific test or procedure. The provider's credentials or identification number may be included. |
| batch_id | Batch id | System Generated | string | Batch ID | "batch ID" is a unique identifier assigned to a group of messages that are logically grouped together for processing or transmission. Batching messages is a common practice in healthcare systems to efficiently manage and transmit multiple messages as a single unit |
| alternate_visit_id | Alternative visit id | PV1-50/PID-18 | string | Alternate Visit Id | This field provides an alternate identifier for a patient's visit. It is used for tracking and cross-referencing patient visits and records, especially in scenarios requiring multiple identifiers or references. This field is recorded during patient registration and aids in accurate record linkage. |
| visit_number | Id of the visit | PV1-19-1 | string | Visit Number | This field contains a unique identifier for a specific patient visit or encounter within a healthcare facility. It serves as a reference number for tracking and managing patient visits. |
| patient_id | This is patient_id attribute | PID-3-1 | string | Patient ID | The patient ID is a unique identifier assigned to a patient within the healthcare system. It is used to accurately identify and link a patient's medical records, treatments, and history. |
| bundle_id | ID of bundle | MSH-10 | string | Bundle ID | “bundle ID" typically refers to a unique identifier assigned to a group or bundle of related messages or data elements. This identifier is used to associate multiple messages or pieces of information that are related to a specific patient, event, or transaction. |
| lineage | This is lineage attribute | Fixed - HL7 | string | Lineage | "lineage" refers to the information about the origin or source of a message. It helps trace the path of the message, indicating where it originated, how it was transmitted, and any intermediate systems or components it passed through before reaching its destination. |
| xc_visit_id | XC visit id | Based on alternate_visit_id followed by visit_number followed by system generated ID | string | XC visit id | The "xc_visit_id" is a unique identifier used to group together all the interactions, procedures, tests, and check-ups associated with a single patient visit in a healthcare setting. This identifier helps in organising and managing various activities and data related to that specific patient encounter. |
| encounter_id | Encounter ID | PV1+MSH-10 | string | Encounter ID | This unique identifier is used to associate various HL7 messages with a specific patient encounter or visit. It ensures that data and events are accurately linked to the correct patient's healthcare journey. |
| provider_uid | This is provider_uid attribute | System Generated | string | Provider UID | This is the unique identifier assigned to a healthcare provider. It distinguishes one provider from another within the XC system. |
