QI-Core Implementation Guide
7.0.2 - STU 7 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 7.0.2 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 Location

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-location Version: 7.0.2
Standards status: Trial-use Maturity Level: 4 Computable Name: QICoreLocation

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

"Must Have", "QI Elements" and "primary code path" are defined in the QI-Core Must Support section.
Must Have:
  • name: Name by which a facility or location is known.
QI Elements:
  • status: (QI) active | suspended | inactive
  • telecom: (QI) Contact details of the location
  • managingOrganization: (QI) Organization responsible for provisioning and upkeep
  • type: (QI) Category of service or resource available in a location.
Primary code path: type
(PCPath) This element is the primary code path for this resource CQL Retrieve

Usage 
define "Encounter With ICU Location Stay 1 Day or More":
  "Encounter With Age Range and Without VTE Diagnosis or Obstetrical Conditions" QualifyingEncounter
    where exists ( QualifyingEncounter.location Location
      where Global.GetLocation(Location.location).type in "Intensive Care Unit"
        and Global."LengthInDays"(Location.period) >= 1
        and Location.period starts during TJC."CalendarDayOfOrDayAfter"(start of QualifyingEncounter.period)
    )

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.
