QI-Core Implementation Guide
7.0.0 - STU7 United States of America flag

QI-Core Implementation Guide, published by HL7 International / Clinical Quality Information. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 7.0.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/fhir-qi-core/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: QICore Medication

Active as of 2018-08-22 Computable Name: QICoreMedication

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

Must Have:
  • code: Codes that identify this medication
Primary code path: code
(PCPath) This element is the primary code path for this resource CQL Retrieve


NOTE TO BALLOT REVIEWERS:
  • US Core 7.0, and thus QI-Core 7.0, has a new approach to USCDI requirements.
    • As noted in the US Core 7.0 Must Support section, US Core 7.0 no longer highlights mandatory (cardinality 1..* or 1..1) and Must Support elements with a (USCDI) indicator as such items must be supported for interoperability.
    • Those USCDI elements that are not mandatory or Must Support now include an indicator (ADDITIONAL USCDI) in US Core. QI-Core 7.0 does not reference USCDI elements; rather, users should access US Core 7.0 to understand its implementation of USCDI version 4.
  • We invite comments about the approach and suggestions for other options that would also avoid unnecessary noise or reading load to the QI-Core profile representation.
  • Further, QI-Core 7.0 does not discuss USCDI+Quality because at the time of ballot preparation, no published version of USCDI+Quality is available. We seek reviewer advice regarding how QI-Core might address future USCDI+Quality.

Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns. 

define function "GetMedicationCode"(request MedicationRequest):
  if request.medication is CodeableConcept then
    request.medication as CodeableConcept
  else
    (singleton from ([Medication] M where M.id = GetId((request.medication as Reference).reference))).code

Examples

Example of an IV medication - Alemtuzumab
