Description
Subtract simultaneousMinutes from the two providers' summed minutes for uniqueProviderMinutes.
Support indicators describe which recorded observations meet stated completeness or eligibility conditions. Duration-weighted support and distinct-record support use different denominators.
Subtract simultaneousMinutes from the two providers' summed minutes for uniqueProviderMinutes.
When to use this tool
Use Maternity Continuity Provider Overlap Term when you need a transparent supported fraction from supplied flags.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter firstProviderMinutes, secondProviderMinutes, simultaneousMinutes, totalContactMinutes. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read uniqueProviderMinutes, sharedContactFraction, attributedPersonMinutes. Use the output convention below.
Subtract simultaneousMinutes from the two providers' summed minutes for uniqueProviderMinutes. Divide simultaneous time by totalContactMinutes and also return the summed person-minutes.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| firstProviderMinutes | First Provider Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| secondProviderMinutes | Second Provider Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| simultaneousMinutes | Simultaneous Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| totalContactMinutes | Total Contact Minutes | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| uniqueProviderMinutes | Unique Provider Minutes | Required. Finite number. |
| sharedContactFraction | Shared Contact Fraction | Required. Finite number. |
| attributedPersonMinutes | Attributed Person Minutes | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Overlap cannot exceed either provider's time and unique time cannot exceed total contact; this is contact accounting, not care-quality assessment.
- 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect missing and excluded records separately and verify the evidence behind each support flag.
