The Task profile defines the conformance expectations for a Task, regardless of whether it is a positive or negative statement. The TaskDone and TaskRejected profiles represent the positive and negative statements for a task.

USCDI+ Quality Element Support Expectations

Systems are expected to support this profile as part of implementing USCDI+ Quality V2 in FHIR and meeting the conformance requirements of this guide.

The following elements are specifically relevant to USCDI+ Quality V2 data classes and elements. Systems are expected to support these elements as applicable to their role in US Quality Core data exchange. See the Must Support section of this guide for more information. These elements are flagged as (USCDI+ Quality) in the formal profile views.

USCDI+ Quality Elements:

Summary

Mandatory: 1 element

Maturity: 4

Element Conformance Indicators by Profile Layer

Badges identify the profile layer where each conformance indicator is first introduced. Indicators introduced in an earlier layer remain applicable in later derived profiles.

Cardinality note: “Mandatory” means the element has a minimum cardinality greater than zero. For nested elements, the cardinality indicator applies when the containing element is present.

Mandatory US Quality Core Server Search Parameters

The searches below are the focused set identified by US Quality Core as needed to retrieve USCDI+ Quality data for quality measurement and reporting. See the US Core FHIR RESTful Search API Requirements for detailed information on requirements by search parameter type.

See the US Quality Core Server CapabilityStatement for complete requirements for the underlying Task resource and Search Requirement Selection for how this focused set was selected.

Servers supporting this profile SHALL support the following search parameters and search parameter combinations:

1. SHALL support searching for all Task resources for a patient using the patient search parameter.

   GET [base]/Task?patient={Patient/}[id]

   Example:

   GET [base]/Task?patient=Patient/example

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of US Quality Core Task Done resources matching the specified search criteria. See how to search by reference.

   Rationale for inclusion: Supports patient-scoped retrieval of Task resources for USCDI+ Quality workflows.

2. SHALL support searching for all Task resources for a patient using the combination of the patient and status search parameters.

   • Including optional support for OR search on status (e.g.status=[status],[status],...).

   GET [base]/Task?patient={Patient/}[id]&status=[status]

   Example:

   GET [base]/Task?patient=Patient/example&status=completed

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of US Quality Core Task Done resources matching the specified search criteria. See how to search by reference and how to search by token.

   Rationale for inclusion: Supports patient-scoped retrieval of Task resources filtered by status; status is used to indicate negation.

3. SHALL support searching for all Task resources for a patient using the combination of the patient and code search parameters.

   • Including optional support for OR search on code (e.g.code={system|}[search_code],{system|}[search_code],...).

   GET [base]/Task?patient={Patient/}[id]&code={system|}[search_code]

   Example:

   GET [base]/Task?patient=Patient/example&code=http://www.ama-assn.org/go/cpt|99483

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of US Quality Core Task Done resources matching the specified search criteria. See how to search by reference and how to search by token.

   Rationale for inclusion: Supports patient-scoped retrieval of Task resources filtered by code for USCDI+ Quality workflows.
