Artifacts

This page provides indexes of the various artifacts (i.e. profiles, extensions, code systems, and other knowledge artifacts) defined by this implementation guide.

ActivityDefinition Index

CapabilityStatement Index

  • CPG Common Patient Registry

    Describes the expected set of functionality required for a patient registry service that supports the common registration process defined in this implementation guide.

  • CodeSystem Index

    • CPG Activity Type

      A type of activity that can be performed as part of the delivery of guideline-based care.

    • CPG Case Feature Type

      The type of a case feature, whether asserted (i.e. documented in the patient’s record) or inferred (i.e. calculated from the case feature expression)

    • CPG Case Feature Pertinence

      The pertinence of a case feature relative to a case, guideline, pathway, strategy, or recommendation.

    • CPG Indicator

      Indicates the urgency/importance of what this recommendation conveys

    • CPG Common Personas

      Personas are the types of participants in the recommendations of a healthcare guideline, including practitioners, patients, nurses, community health workers, and care partners. The personas identified in this code system are defined based on the WHO recommendation for Classifying health workers. This recommendation uses codes from the International Standard Classification for Occupations but defines several additional categories of health workers. In addition, the codes in that recommendation are focused on health workers, so codes for patient and care partner personas need to be considered as well. Where a code from the ISCO exists, it is used. Where a WHO recommended health worker category is used, a code is constructed beginning with a W. Where a code is introduced by this implementation guide, it is constructed beginning with a C. Note that the content is incomplete, pending a computable representation of the WHO recommendations.

    • CPG Common Process

      Common processes performed in providing guideline-based care, regardless of the specific guideline.

    • CPG Recommendation Direction

      The direction of a recommendation, either for or against a particular action, taking into account the balance between desirable and undersirable outcomes; the confidence in the magnitude of estimates of effect; the confidence in values and preferences and their variability; and resource use.
