Clinical Practice Guidelines, published by HL7 International / Clinical Decision Support. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.0.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/cqf-recommendations/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
This page provides indexes of the various artifacts (i.e. profiles, extensions, code systems, and other knowledge artifacts) defined by this implementation guide.
Describes the expected set of functionality required for a patient registry service that supports the common registration process defined in this implementation guide.
A type of activity that can be performed as part of the delivery of guideline-based care.
The type of a case feature, whether asserted (i.e. documented in the patient's record) or inferred (i.e. calculated from the case feature expression)
The pertinence of a case feature relative to a case, guideline, pathway, strategy, or recommendation.
Personas are the types of participants in the recommendations of a healthcare guideline, including practitioners, patients, nurses, community health workers, and care partners. The personas identified in this code system are defined based on the WHO recommendation for Classifying health workers. This recommendation uses codes from the International Standard Classification for Occupations but defines several additional categories of health workers. In addition, the codes in that recommendation are focused on health workers, so codes for patient and care partner personas need to be considered as well. Where a code from the ISCO exists, it is used. Where a WHO recommended health worker category is used, a code is constructed beginning with a W. Where a code is introduced by this implementation guide, it is constructed beginning with a C. Note that the content is incomplete, pending a computable representation of the WHO recommendations.
Common processes performed in providing guideline-based care, regardless of the specific guideline.
The direction of a recommendation, either for or against a particular action, taking into account the balance between desirable and undersirable outcomes; the confidence in the magnitude of estimates of effect; the confidence in values and preferences and their variability; and resource use.
