Description
Measure a supplied referral-response date gap.
Clinical movement and practice records distinguish coordinate references, recorded observations, fees and supplied assessment labels. A reference-minus-camera angle differs from an angle wrap, and a right-minus-left coordinate difference is only geometry. Local measures do not diagnose a condition or determine appropriate care.
Measure a supplied referral-response date gap.
When to use this tool
Use Chiropractic Referral Response Gap when you already have referralDate, responseDate and need to measure a supplied referral-response date gap.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter referralDate, responseDate. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read signedCalendarDays. Use the output convention below.
Parse real UTC dates; return responseDate-referralDate in calendar days.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| referralDate | Referral Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| responseDate | Response Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| signedCalendarDays | Signed Calendar Days | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative gaps are retained. No referral, actual response, appropriate timing, diagnosis or care decision is established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the original clinical and measurement records with verified calibration and the complete assessment. Use professional clinical judgment for care questions and actual billing terms for account questions; local coordinate or fee arithmetic does not supply either determination.
