The risk-gap operation is used to request condition Category (CC) gaps for a patient/member and coverage within a specified time period, and for a specific context. The context-id is provided as an HTTP header and not as a parameter of the operation. The Client (i.e., Provider) who calls this operation may also POST references to Organization, PracitionerRole, and/or Encounter resources using the parameters. The data parameter is a Bundle, which could be used to provide the referenced resources. Additionally, this operation also includes parameters to povide ccType and evidenceStatus. The Server (i.e. Payer) uses the resources and/or codes provided using the parameters as filter to get the right risk adjustment coding gap reports to return to the Client.
The contextId header is an optional, non-standard HTTP header used to transmit an internal or system-specific identifier associated with the current request context. For example, a contextId maybe a 'gap-request-id' that is used by some systems to track an appointment that later is morphed into an encounter, and this "gap-request-id" can then be used by the server system to produce a Risk Adjustment Coding Gap Report.
Include the contextId header in FHIR API POST operations. Implementers are expected to document the meaning of contextId used in their implementation and expected format if any constraints apply.
contextId: <string>
<string>: A system-specific identifier, such as an internal request id, gap-request-id, or similar identifier used for internal tracking.
POST [base]/MeasureReport/$risk-gap
Host: example.org
Content-Type: application/fhir+json
contextId: gap-request-id-123
Servers receiving the contextId should log, propagate, or process the header according to their internal policies.
