## QI-Core Profiles

The following table lists the QI-Core profiles that are part of the IG, which USCore profile they are derived from, if any, and the underlying FHIR resources:

### Referencing QI-Core Profiles

There are a number of QI-Core profiles inherit directly from US Core profiles, if any, or other FHIR resources (i.e. USCoreImplantableDeviceProfile, FHIR VitalSigns, USCore Smoking Status etc.) and the underlying Reference elements can address the US Core or FHIR profiles for the items referenced. For any other references to base FHIR resources or not formally defined in a QI-Core Profile, the referenced resource SHOULD be a QI-Core Profile if a QI-Core Profile exists for the resource type. For example, USCore Smoking Status references US Core Patient profile, the reference to Patient SHOULD be a valid QI-Core Patient.

STU Note: Mappings from the QI Core Profiles to Quality Data Model have been removed from this version of the QI Core IG. The CQI Work Group is seeking implementer feedback on the value of these mappings and whether they would be useful to include in a future version of the specification. Mappings from QDM-to-QI-Core are still available on the QDM-to-QI-Core page, and the FHIR-to-QDM mappings are still available in the mappings section for each profile in the STU3.2 version of this implementation guide.
