QI-Core Implementation Guide
7.0.0-ballot - STU7 United States of America flag

QI-Core Implementation Guide, published by HL7 International / Clinical Quality Information. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 7.0.0-ballot built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/fhir-qi-core/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: QICore Observation Cancelled

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-observationcancelled Version: 7.0.0-ballot
Active as of 2018-08-22 Computable Name: QICoreObservationCancelled

Profile of ObservationCancelled for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

QI Elements:
  • notDoneReason: (QI) Extension
  • status: (QI) registered | preliminary | final | amended +
  • category: (QI) Classification of type of observation
  • code: (QI) Type of observation (code / type)
  • notDoneValueSet: (QI) What was not done
  • subject: (QI) Who and/or what the observation is about
  • effective[x]: (QI) Clinically relevant time/time-period for observation
  • issued: (QI) Date/Time this version was made available
  • value[x]: (QI) Actual result
  • value[x]: (QI) Actual result
  • interpretation: (QI) High, low, normal, etc.
Primary code path: code
(PCPath) This element is the primary code path for this resource CQL Retrieve


NOTE TO BALLOT REVIEWERS:
  • US Core 7.0, and thus QI-Core 7.0, has a new approach to USCDI requirements.
    • As noted in the US Core 7.0 Must Support section, US Core 7.0 no longer highlights mandatory (cardinality 1..* or 1..1) and Must Support elements with a (USCDI) indicator as such items must be supported for interoperability.
    • Those USCDI elements that are not mandatory or Must Support now include an indicator (ADDITIONAL USCDI) in US Core. QI-Core 7.0 does not reference USCDI elements; rather, users should access US Core 7.0 to understand its implementation of USCDI version 4.
  • We invite comments about the approach and suggestions for other options that would also avoid unnecessary noise or reading load to the QI-Core profile representation.
  • Further, QI-Core 7.0 does not discuss USCDI+Quality because at the time of ballot preparation, no published version of USCDI+Quality is available. We seek reviewer advice regarding how QI-Core might address future USCDI+Quality.

Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

The Simple Observation and ObservationCancelled profiles represent the positive and negative statements for an observation. To ensure instances retrieved meet negative intent, applications should check the status element as illustrated in this example:

define "Pap Test Refused":
  ["ObservationCancelled": "Pap Test"] PapTest
    where PapTest.notDoneReason in "Patient Refusal"

Note that when a more specific observation, such as a Blood Pressure, is negated, the resource instance should conform to both the specific observation profile AND the general negation profile.

Examples

Negation Example with valuesetObservation not indicated; indicates that none of the observations in the given not done value set were performed.
Negation Example with codeObservation not indicate; indicates that a specific observation, by code, was not done.

For a more complete discussion of representation of negation within QI-Core and quality improvement artifacts, see the Negation in QI-Core topic.

Usage:

  • This Resource Profile is not used by any profiles in this Implementation Guide
