Procedure Identifier
Procedure Identifier
Introduction
The Procedure Identifier data model is essential for capturing and managing information related to the identification of medical procedures performed on a patient. It facilitates the standardized tracking and documentation of various procedures, ensuring accurate and consistent records across different healthcare systems and encounters.
Use Case
Developers can leverage the Procedure Identifier data model to address specific challenges related to procedure identification, documentation, and tracking. Here are some common use cases:
- Procedure Record Retrieval: Develop applications that use procedure identifiers to efficiently retrieve and display detailed records of specific medical procedures, providing healthcare professionals with comprehensive information for patient care and decision-making.
- Clinical Decision Support: Implement clinical decision support systems that utilize procedure identifier data to offer relevant insights and recommendations based on the specific procedures performed, enhancing the quality and safety of patient care.
- Audit Trail for Procedures: Build audit trail mechanisms that track changes to procedure identifier data, enhancing transparency and accountability in the documentation of medical procedures, which is crucial for regulatory compliance and quality assurance.
- Procedure History Analysis: Create tools that analyze a patient's historical procedure data, allowing healthcare professionals to identify trends, track the progression of medical conditions, and make informed decisions about treatment plans.
- Procedure Order Management: Develop systems that manage and track the ordering of medical procedures, utilizing procedure identifiers to link orders to specific patients, encounters, or episodes of care.
- Procedure Scheduling: Implement scheduling applications that use procedure identifiers to manage and coordinate the timing and logistics of medical procedures, ensuring efficient use of resources and minimizing patient wait times.
- Patient Consent Management: Integrate procedure identifier data into consent management systems, enabling patients to provide informed consent specifically related to the identified procedures, in compliance with ethical and legal standards.
- Quality Metrics Reporting: Support the reporting of quality metrics by using procedure identifiers to aggregate data on specific procedures, aiding healthcare organizations in assessing and improving the quality of care provided.
- Research and Analytics: Enable researchers to conduct studies and analyses by leveraging procedure identifier data, allowing them to explore correlations, outcomes, and trends related to specific medical procedures.
Data Fields
| Attribute Name | Description | HL7 Mapping | Data Type | Label | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| xc_visit_id | XC visit id | Based on alternate_visit_id followed by visit_number followed by system generated ID | string | XC visit id | Alternate IDs may be used to quickly access a patient's medical information if their primary identification is not readily available. This ensures that the right medical care is provided promptly. |
| batch_id | Batch id | System Generated | string | Batch ID | Batch IDs are used to label and track blood products, tissues, and organs in blood banks and tissue banks. This helps ensure patient safety by verifying the origin and quality of these products. |
| lineage | This is lineage attribute | Fixed - HL7 | string | Lineage | lineage is essential for assessing genetic predispositions to hereditary diseases and conditions. |
| visit_number | Id of the visit | PV1-19-1 | string | Visit Number | Developers may query visit numbers to check when appointments are scheduled. This ensures that each visit is uniquely identified and tracked. |
| procedure_id | This is procedure_id attribute | PR1,MSH-10 | string | Procedure ID | This field would typically contain a unique identifier or code for a medical procedure. It aids in accurately tracking and referencing specific procedures. |
| id_type | Name of ID Type | PR1-19 | string | Name of ID Type | Information about the method or coding system used to assign codes to medical procedures. It provides context about how the procedure was classified or documented. |
| identifier_id | This is identifier_id attribute | System Generated | string | Identifier ID | identifier_id can be used as identifier associated with a non-covered insurance code, which is used to indicate that a particular procedure or service is not covered by insurance |
| bundle_id | ID of bundle | MSH-10 | string | Bundle ID | Bundle_id is typically used to group related data or transactions together, especially in situations where multiple pieces of information need to be processed or managed as a single unit. It could be used to check for the message in which information has been received in. |
| alternate_visit_id | Alternative visit id | PV1-50/PID-18 | string | Alternate Visit Id | Alternate visit IDs can be used for specific billing or claims processing scenarios, such as when a patient has multiple insurance policies or requires different billing codes for different aspects of their care. |
| start_date | This is start_date attribute | System Generated | date | Start date | It is to check the validity of start date of identifier. |
| id_value | This is id_value attribute | PR1-19-1/PR1-19-2 | string | ID # | id_value can be used for identify a non-covered insurance code, which is used to indicate that a particular procedure or service is not covered by insurance. |
| end_date | This is end_date attribute | System Generated | date | End date | It is to check the validity of end date of identifier. |
| id_type_code | Code of ID type | PR1-19-1/PR1-19-2 | string | Code of ID Type | id_type_code used to specify non-covered insurance codes and their corresponding textual descriptions for procedures or services that are not covered by insurance. |
