## Resource Profile: US Quality Core Task

Official URL: http://fhir.org/guides/astp/us-quality-core/StructureDefinition/us-quality-core-task | Version: 0.1.0
Active as of 2026-03-31 | Computable Name: USQualityCoreTask

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

Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

The Task and TaskRejected profiles represent the positive and negative statements for a task.

### Examples

Task Example

USCDI+ Quality Elements:

- basedOn: (USCDI+ Quality) Request fulfilled by this task
- status: (USCDI+ Quality) draft​ \| requested​ \| received​ \| accepted​ \| ready​ \| cancelled​ \| in-progress​ \| on-hold​ \| failed​ \| completed \| entered-in-error
- statusReason: (USCDI+ Quality) Reason for current status
- code: (USCDI+ Quality) Task Type
- focus: (USCDI+ Quality) What task is acting on
- executionPeriod: (USCDI+ Quality)
- reasonCode: (USCDI+ Quality)

Usages:

- Examples for this Profile: Task/example
