DEQM Collect Data |
The deqm.collect-data operation is used to collect the data-of-interest for the given measure. |
DEQM Submit Data |
The deqm-submit-data operation is used to submit MeasureReports and any data of interest for one or more measures for one or more subjects. Each submitted Bundle SHOULD contain resources for a single subject and SHOULD contain all of the MeasureReport and data of interest related to that subject. |
Evaluate Operation |
The evaluate operation is used to calculate an eMeasure and obtain the results. |
These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.
DEQM Data Exchange MeasureReport Profile |
MeasureReport is used as an organizer for both data exchange for measure and for measure reporting. Three profiles on the MeasureReport resource are defined in this guide to delineate these different uses.
When a data producer needs to send data to a data consumer, they use the DEQM Data-Exchange MeasureReport Profile defined here. The |
DEQM Gaps In Care Bundle |
The DEQM Gaps In Care Bundle describes a bundle returned by the Measure care-gaps operation. This bundle consists of a document composition for gaps in care and supporting resources referenced by the composition. |
DEQM Gaps In Care Composition Profile |
The DEQM Gaps In Care Composition Profile defines a document composition consisting of one or more indivdiual MeasureReport(s). Each section of this composition corresponds to an indivdiual MeasureReport for a specific measure. The subject of each individual MeasureReport referenced by the section must be for the same individual specified in the subject of this Composition. |
DEQM Gaps In Care Detected Issue Profile |
The DEQM Gaps In Care DetectedIssue Profile indicates that the measure reported has an open gap or a closed gap as identified in the gapStatus modifier extension. |
DEQM Gaps In Care Group Profile |
The DEQM Gaps In Care Group Profile describes a group consisting of one or more patients. |
DEQM Individual MeasureReport List |
A list that contains entries of referencing DEQM Individual MeasureReport resources for the same measure, one for each subject in the overall population. |
DEQM Individual MeasureReport Profile |
MeasureReport is used as an organizer for both data exchange for measure and for measure reporting. Three profiles on the MeasureReport resource are defined in this guide to delineate these different uses. The DEQM Individual MeasureReport Profile defined here is used when a measure is reported to an aggregator for one specific subject. It contains all of the data that is relevant to generate the report including the measure outcome and is similar to a QRDA Category 1 report. In addition to the MeasureReport, the report would be collected in a Bundle with the reporter, subject, and any other resources that were used to calculate this measure. |
DEQM Subject List MeasureReport |
Subject List MeasureReport is for data exchange and reporting on a list of subjects, which also allows individual MeasureReports be provided for each of the subjects in the population. |
DEQM Summary MeasureReport Profile |
MeasureReport is used as an organizer for both data exchange for measure and for measure reporting. Three profiles on the MeasureReport resource are defined in this guide to delineate these different uses. The DEQM Summary MeasureReport Profile defined here is used when a measure is reported to an aggregator for a group of subjects. It contains all of the data that is relevant to generate the report including the measure outcome and is similar to a QRDA Category 3 report. Unlike the DEQM Individual MeasureReport Profile, the report is typically transacted as a single MeasureReport report. |
Detailed Care Gap Guidance Response |
Derived from the GuidanceResponse resource, the Detailed Care Gap Guidance Response profile supports the functionality of providing reason for guidance and detailed guidance to help address care gaps and close open gaps. |
These define constraints on FHIR data types for systems conforming to this implementation guide.
DEQM Alternate Score Type Extension |
Possible value types for the measureScore elements in addition to the standard Quantity type. The alternate type is determined by the Quality Measure Aggregate Method extension used on the Measure. The reported type of the measureScore for continuous variable measures is determined by the result type of the aggregate method operation. This extension corresponds to the measureScore types in the FHIR R5 version of MeasureReport. |
DEQM Calculated Date Extension |
This extension applies to the date the metric was actually calculated. If your measure calculation draws on stored calculations and there are multiple calculation dates, this extension would not apply, as in the example of a composite measure where the individual measures were calculated on different dates. This would only cover the case where there is only one calculation date. |
DEQM Certification Identifier Extension |
An identifier that represents the EHR certication number (CERHT). See Certified EHR Technology For more information. This Extension is used when the receiver is interested in getting EHR certification information in the report. |
DEQM Criteria Reference Extension |
DEPRECATED in favor of cqf-criteriaReference: Identifies which measure criteria (i.e. population, stratifier, or supplementalData) was responsible for the inclusion of the evaluatedResource or supplementalData on which it appears. |
DEQM Data Location Extension |
Location from which reported data was gathered. This extension is used to provide the location(s) from which reported data was gathered in a MeasureReport, such as individual, summary and data exchange measure report. |
DEQM Gap Status Modifier Extension |
Identifies detected care gap status. |
DEQM Group Improvement Notation Extension |
Indicates whether improvement in the measure group is noted by an increase or decrease in the measure score. |
DEQM Measure Scoring Extension |
Indicates how the calculation is performed for the measure, including proportion, ratio, continuous-variable, and cohort. The value set is extensible, allowing additional measure scoring types to be represented. It is expected to be the same as the scoring element on the referenced Measure |
DEQM Population Description |
DEPRECATED in favor of the measurereport-populationDescription extension: The human readable description of this population criteria. |
DEQM Population Reference Extension |
DEPRECATED in favor of cqf-criteriaReference: Identifies which measure population that a specific resource is used for evaluating their logics by referencing population criteria id ( |
DEQM Reporter Group Extension |
Group of practitioners responsible for a report. This extension is used to provide the capability to allow the participating practitioners to be documented. |
DEQM Reporting Program Extension |
Extension that supports the reporting program as a reference to a Library conforming to the Quality Program profile, as well as a CodeableConcept bound to the Quality Program value set. |
DEQM Reporting Vendor Extension |
A reference to the vendor who queried the data, calculated results and/or generated the report. The 'reporting vendor' is intended to represent the submitting entity when it is not the same as the reporting entity. This extension is used when the Receiver is interested in getting vendor information in the report. |
DEQM Submit Data Update Type Extension |
This Extension supports the concepts 'incremental' and 'snapshot' and corresponds to the measureScore types in the FHIR R5 version of MeasureReport.
|
DEQM Supplemental Data Extension |
DEPRECATED in favor of the measurereport-supplementalData extension: This extension allows supplementalData to be included in the MeasureReport. For supplementalData that is a calculation, this will be a reference to an Observation containing the result of the supplementalData calculation. For supplementalData that is a resource, this will be a reference to the supplementalData resource. |
Denominator Membership |
The denominator population membership is the number of subjects in the denominator after exceptions and exclusions. See (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/cqfmeasures/measure-conformance.html) for further discussion. |
Measure Population Membership |
The measure population membership is the number of subjects in the measure population after exclusions. See (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/cqfmeasures/measure-conformance.html) for further discussion. |
