  • Data Model Keys

    • EMR Encounter Service Line Item ID -- The identifier for the instance of a performed service during an EMR Encounter.
    • EMR Encounter ID -- The internal database identifier (used, e.g., for joins and primary keys) for the EMR encounter. (See also [URSA-CORE] EMR Encounter)
    • Service Line Number -- The integer-valued ordinal representing the position of a service line item in a claim, bill, encounter, or other master record. May not necessarily match the analogous value in the source data for the same record.

    • 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.)
