http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type  processProcessA measure which focuses on a process which leads to a certain outcome, meaning that a scientific basis exists for believing that the process, when executed well, will increase the probability of achieving a desired outcome.
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type  outcomeOutcomeA measure that indicates the result of the performance (or non-performance) of a function or process.
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type  structureStructureA measure that focuses on a health care provider's capacity, systems, and processes to provide high-quality care.
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type  patient-reported-outcomePatient Reported OutcomeA measure that focuses on patient-reported information such as patient engagement or patient experience measures.
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type  intermediate-outcomeIntermediate OutcomeA measure that evaluates the change over time of a physiologic state observable that is associated with a specific long-term health outcome.
http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type  compositeCompositeinactiveA measure that combines multiple component measures in to a single quality measure.retired
http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/cpg/CodeSystem/cpg-measure-type-cs  complianceComplianceA process metric that evaluates whether the care delivered to a patient conforms to an individual guideline recommendation — typically whether the activity proposed by a CPGProposal was fulfilled by a corresponding request and/or event and, where specified, within the required time relative to the proposal or to an anchoring case feature. A compliance metric is scoped to a single CPGRecommendation (or a goal it supports) and evaluates the care process, not patient behavior.
http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/cpg/CodeSystem/cpg-measure-type-cs  adherenceAdherenceA composite metric that evaluates where a patient is with respect to a CPGStrategy or CPGPathway as a whole, typically by rolling up the compliance and/or intermediate-outcome metrics scoped to the recommendations within that strategy or pathway, using logic defined by the guideline development group or the local implementation. Pathway adherence (colloquially 'on path' or 'off path') is a special case.
