-- FHIR-SQL fine-tuning study: frozen core clinical schema. -- -- This is the benchmark-facing schema shown to models in every prompt (benchmark -- authoring, SFT prompt format, RL reward execution). It is a deliberately curated -- subset of the full flattened data -- see METHODOLOGY_LOG.md for the two-layer -- rationale (full fidelity in the database, curated scope in what models see) and -- the token-cost/scope reasoning. -- -- Generated from the actual column types DuckDB inferred when loading -- data/train.duckdb, not hand-assumed -- see scripts/flatten_to_duckdb.py for -- the extraction logic that produces this shape. -- -- Version stamp: -- Date frozen: 2026-08-02 -- Synthea build: v3.4.0-18-ga07a65555 (git-describe string embedded in -- generated Patient resources; downloaded from the -- GitHub v4.0.0 release page -- see methodology log) -- Train population: 18,999 patients (target was ~15,000; see log for -- per-batch seed/state/age-bracket design) -- Held-out population: 6,383 patients (target was ~5,000) -- Populations verified disjoint: 0 patient_id overlap between train and held-out -- -- Every number produced downstream (benchmark accuracy, cost tables, etc.) is -- relative to this artifact. Do not modify this file without a note on what -- changed and why. -- -- Provider attribution: Synthea generates exactly one participant per encounter, -- typed "primary performer" only -- it does not distinguish admitting/attending/ -- consulting roles, so those remain unanswerable regardless of schema design. -- Procedure.performer is never populated by this Synthea version (0/29,947 in a -- full batch) -- procedure-level provider attribution is not available at all. -- -- Naming convention: columns are named to match FHIR element names directly, -- so a model's clinical-language understanding maps onto the schema with as -- little translation as possible: -- - Primary key: `id` (matches every FHIR resource's own `id` element). -- - Foreign keys: `patient_id`, `encounter_id` (SQL join-key convention; -- not itself a literal FHIR field name, since FHIR expresses this via -- subject/patient/encounter *reference* elements, but resolving those -- references to a flat join key needs a name, and `_id` is the -- clearest SQL-side compromise). -- - Primary coding triple on each table: `code`, `system`, `display` -- (matches FHIR Coding.code/.system/.display exactly). -- - Where a resource's own field name differs from the generic "code" -- (Encounter.type, Encounter.class, Immunization.vaccineCode, -- CarePlan.category), the coding triple is prefixed with that field name -- instead: `type_code/type_system/type_display`, `class_code`, -- `vaccineCode/vaccineCode_system/vaccineCode_display`, -- `category_code/category_system/category_display`. -- - Status/descriptive fields: exact camelCase FHIR element names -- (clinicalStatus, verificationStatus, intent, criticality). -- - Dates: exact FHIR element names (birthDate, deceasedDateTime, -- onsetDateTime, abatementDateTime, recordedDate, effectiveDateTime, -- authoredOn, performedDateTime, occurrenceDateTime); Period-typed -- start/end kept as `period_start`/`period_end` (Period.start/.end). -- - value[x]: `valueQuantity`, `unit` (Quantity.unit), `valueCodeableConcept` -- (+ `valueCodeableConcept_system`), `valueString`. -- - Provider-reference columns match the FHIR field they were extracted -- from: `requester_npi`/`requester_name` on medication_request (from -- MedicationRequest.requester), `participant_npi`/`participant_name` on -- encounter (from Encounter.participant). -- - `race`/`ethnicity` on patient (US-Core extensions -- see -- scripts/flatten_to_duckdb.py's us_core_ext_text macro). -- - `imaging_study` (ImagingStudy resource) makes radiology-volume questions -- answerable (department-level radiology questions remain unanswerable -- -- no department/service-line concept exists anywhere in Synthea's FHIR -- output). -- -- Indexes: secondary (ART) indexes are added directly to train.duckdb and -- heldout.duckdb (not a change to this file -- no column/table/logical change, -- only a physical one) on the coding-triple columns (condition.code, -- observation.code, medication_request.code, encounter.class_code, -- encounter.type_code, procedure.code, immunization.vaccineCode, allergy.code, -- careplan.category_code, diagnostic_report.code, imaging_study.procedureCode, -- imaging_study.modality), to support the RL execution-efficiency reward term. -- patient_id/encounter_id deliberately NOT indexed -- DuckDB's ART index isn't -- used by the optimizer to accelerate joins, only point/highly-selective -- (<0.1% of rows) filters. See METHODOLOGY_LOG.md for the full verification -- history of this schema and its indexes.
