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 8.0.0-ballot 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
| Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-communicationdone | Version: 8.0.0-ballot | |||
| Standards status: Trial-use | Maturity Level: 4 | Computable Name: QICoreCommunicationDone | ||
Positive profile of Communication for decision support/quality metrics. Indicates that the communication was performed (as opposed to the not done profile).
The Communication profile defines the conformance expectations for a Communication event, regardless of whether it is a positive or negative statement.
The CommunicationDone and CommunicationNotDone profiles represent the positive and negative statements for a communication event.
To create an expression indicating existence of a communication, use the profile QICoreCommunicationDone; to specifically request information that a communication intentionally did not occur for a medical, patient or system reason, use the profile QICoreCommunicationNotDone.
define CommunicationDone:
[CommunicationDone]
Note that the statuses indicating positive intent are implied by the use of the CommunicationDone profile in the above expression.
See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.
