Data Exchange For Quality Measures Implementation Guide, published by HL7 International / Clinical Quality Information. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 1.0.0-cibuild built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/davinci-deqm/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Terminology

Terminology is a critical aspect of quality measurement and reporting. Measure specifications and associated FHIR resources and profiles identify the value sets, code systems, and terminology bindings required for measure evaluation and reporting. Additional guidance on the appropriate use and management of terminologies should be obtained from HL7 Terminology (THO) and the authoritative terminology publishers. See External Code Systems in HL7 Terminology (THO) for more information.

Measure collections are often developed and published together with explicit listings of the versions of the value sets and code systems that are expected to be used with the measures. Refer to the Version Manifest topic in CRMI for more information on how this can be done in FHIR.
