FHIR Extensions Pack, published by HL7 International / FHIR Infrastructure. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 5.2.0-ballot built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build.

Extension: Direct reference code

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/cqf-directReferenceCode Version: 5.2.0-ballot
Standards status: Trial-use Maturity Level: 2 Responsible: HL7 International / Clinical Decision Support Computable Name: DirectReferenceCode
Other Identifiers: OID:2.16.840.1.113883.4.642.5.1739

Indicates that the given code is directly referenced by artifact logic (e.g. as a direct-reference code in CQL). Terminology dependencies used in logic can be collected and reported, typically using the relatedArtifact element with a type of depends-on. However, direct-reference codes cannot be represented in the relatedArtifact element, so this extension provides a means to support communicating direct-reference code dependencies of knowledge artifacts. As with value set dependencies, direct-reference codes may be the terminology target of a data requirement.

Terminology dependencies used in logic can be collected and reported, typically using the relatedArtifact element with a type of depends-on. However, direct-reference codes cannot be represented in the relatedArtifact element, so this extension provides a means to support communicating direct-reference code dependencies of knowledge artifacts.
