Published Fields

• Data Model Keys

  • Patient ID -- The internal database identifier (used, e.g., for joins and primary keys) for the patient. This value is typically mastered, i.e., all records for the same patient, regardless of the source data system from which that record originated, should have the same Patient ID value. (Note that while the mastered Patient ID value might resemble a local identifier used in one of the upstream data sources, this does not indicate any special priority of that source system in determining the characteristics of the patient.) (See also [URSA-CORE] Patient)

• Patient Fields

  • Patient Age Integer
  • 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 Date of Death

• Date Fields

  • Period Start Date
  • Period End Date
