QI-Core Implementation Guide
7.0.2 - STU 7

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 Substance

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

Profile of Substance 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.
QI Elements:

- code: (QI) If this describes a specific package/container of the substance

Primary code path: code
(PCPath) This element is the primary code path for this resource CQL Retrieve
Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

### Examples

Honey Bee venom (apitoxin) Example

Usages:

- Refer to this Profile: QICore AdverseEvent, QICore Medication and QICore Substance
- Examples for this Profile: Substance/example
