[SO/URSA-CKD] Patient Timelines of Empirical Attribution to Nephrology Provider

Object Description

One record per patient-period during which the patient had at least one visit with a nephrology provider in the prior 2 years; identifies the individual nephrologist and nephology provider group the patient is attributed to based on their empirical history of office visits.

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.)

  • Empirical Attributee Individual Nephrology Provider ID
  • Empirical Attributee Nephrology Group Provider ID

Dedicated Precursors

• [SO/URSA-CKD] Patient Timelines of Empirical Attribution to Nephrology Provider, Precursor 1 (Individual Provider Attribution): One record per patient timeline period in which the patient had at least one visit with a nephrologist in the prior 2 years; identifies the primary care provider with the plurality of visits in the prior 2 years, up to 2, with ties broken based on the most recent visit date
• [SO/URSA-CKD] Patient Timelines of Empirical Attribution to Nephrology Provider, Precursor 2 (Provider Group Attribution): One record per patient timeline period in which the patient had at least one visit with a nephrology group provider in the prior 2 years; identifies the primary care provider with the plurality of visits in the prior 2 years, up to 2, with ties broken based on the most recent visit date
