Attribution by Patient (H)

Attribution Type

The name of the specific patient panel(s) that are currently available within reporting, inclusive of all available active Attribution Type values.

For more information about available Attribution Type values, visit the Patient Attribution methodology section.

HIN ID

The HealthInfoNet-assigned identifier that identifies a unique patient within the HIE’s data warehouse.

Patient ID

The participant-supplied identifier(s) that identifies an attributed patient based on where they received care.

An individual patient may have many participant-supplied identifiers if they have been treated at multiple care locations over time. Valid values are inclusive of Medical Record Number (MRN) values and other source system identifiers submitted via participants' Admission, Discharge, and Transfer (ADT) HL7 feeds, as well as Medicaid ID values (sometimes referred to as 'A' numbers) shared by the Office of MaineCare Services to uniquely identify its Medicaid members.

Note: Regardless of how many Patient IDs that an individual patient may have, they will only have a single HIN ID assigned.

Patient Name

The first and/or last names of an attributed patient.

Patient Name

The first and last names of the attributed patient.

Date of Birth

The date of birth of the attributed patient.

Attribution Type

The name of the specific patient panel(s) to which the attributed patient belongs within reporting.

For more information about available Attribution Type values, visit the Patient Attribution methodology section.

Note: Users can select the + icon found when hovering over the Attribution Type field name in the table to reveal an additional Patient ID field. This field provides the participant-supplied identifier(s) that identifies the attributed patient in the patient panel defined by the Attribution Type value.

For example, even though a unique patient may be included in multiple participants' attribution files with separate Patient ID values coinciding with each participant’s respective source systems, this field will only show the patient’s Patient ID value used in the selected Attribution Type value.

Attributed Provider

The name of the provider (e.g., MD, DO, NP, PA, etc.) to which the patient is attributed.

Note: At this time, patients can only be attributed to providers via Participant-Supplied Custom Attribution.
