Published Fields
Data Model Keys
- Patient ID
- Episode ID
- Primary Plan Attributee Provider ID
- Empirical Attributee Primary Care Individual Provider ID
- Empirical Attributee Primary Care Provider Group Provider ID
- Primary Payor ID -- The internal database identifier (used, e.g., for joins and primary keys) for the Primary Payor. (See also [URSA-CORE] Primary Payor)
- Primary Plan ID
Patient Fields
- Is 3+ Hospital IP Admissions Last 12 Months
- Is 3+ ED Visits Last 12 Months
- Patient Date of Birth -- The patient's date of birth. On the Patients Natural Object, this field reflects the "best" known value for the patient available from all data sources; on other Natural Objects, e.g., MMR Member-Months, the value faithfully reflects the date of birth found on that particular type of record in the source data.
- Patient Sex Category
- Is Patient Sex Female -- Indicates the patient's sex is female. On the Patients Natural Object, this field reflects the "best" known value for the patient available from all data sources; on other Natural Objects, e.g., MMR Member-Months, the value faithfully reflects the patient sex documented on that particular type of record in the source data.
- Is Patient Sex Male -- Indicates the patient's sex is male. On the Patients Natural Object, this field reflects the "best" known value for the patient available from all data sources; on other Natural Objects, e.g., MMR Member-Months, the value faithfully reflects the patient sex documented on that particular type of record in the source data.
- Patient Age Category Tier 1 -- Non-overlapping ranges of the patient age in years into three categories; [01] Pediatrics < 19, [02] Adults 19 - 64, and [03] Older Adults >= 65. Coarser grain to the Patient Age Category Tier 2. (See also [URSA-CORE] Patient Age Category Tier 2)
- Patient Age Category Tier 2 -- Non-overlapping ranges of the patient age in years representing finer grain categories than the Patient Age Category Tier 1. This field incorporates findings from publications on defining meaningful age groups in the context of disease. These ranges closely, but not exactly, align with standard age ranges such as those defined by the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). See results of K-Means simple clustering method at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3825015/ (See also [URSA-CORE] Patient Age Category Tier 1)

- UW HIP Area Deprivation Index National Percentile -- A value between 1 and 100 representing the composite measure of socioeconomic deprivation from University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and Public Health. Scores are for Census Block Group geographic level, which generally contains between 600 and 3,000 people. Higher scores indicate more deprivation, so a score of 1 indicates the least deprivation while a score of 100 indicates the most deprivation. Percentiles are constructed by ranking the ADI from low to high for the nation and grouping the block groups into bins corresponding to each 1% range of the ADI. The 2019 ADI was constructed using the 2015-2019 5-year estimates from the US Census' American Community Survey and includes 17 component measures that span the domains of income, education, employment, and housing quality. It may be linked with the 9-digit ZIP code crosswalk, which was built to correspond directly to Census block groups. The 2019 ADI was released on 07/14/2021 and is the most recent version as of 02/02/22.
- UW HIP ADI Quintile Category -- The UW HIP Area Deprivation Index National Percentile grouped into 5 levels, each spanning 20 percentile points (ADI 1 is percentile scores from 1 to 20 while ADI 5 is scores from 81 to 100). Higher scores indicate more deprivation, so ADI 1 is the least deprived while ADI 5 is the most deprived. Quintiles are frequently used in health research. They give larger sample sizes per group and are easier to plot and interpret. Quintiles also carry less information and group more dissimilar patients. Quintiles are good for descriptive analyses while the original percentile measure is preferable for predictive modeling. (See also [URSA-CORE] UW HIP Area Deprivation Index National Percentile)
- UW HIP ADI Decile Category
- CDC SVI Overall Quintile Category -- The CDC SVI Overall National Percentile grouped into 5 levels, each spanning 20 percentile points (the first quintile is percentile scores from 1 to 20 while the fifth is scores from 81 to 100). Higher scores indicate more vulnerability, so the first quintile is the least vulnerable while the fifth is the most vulnerable. Quintiles are frequently used in health research. They give larger sample sizes per group and are easier to plot and interpret. Quintiles also carry less information and group more dissimilar patients. Quintiles are good for descriptive analyses while the original percentile measure is preferable for predictive modeling.
