http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-scoring version 📍4.0.0| Code | Display | Definition |
| proportion | Proportion | The measure is a proportion scoring measure, defined as the result of a fraction (number of events in the numerator divided by the number of events in the denominator). Proportion measures typically define an initial population, then denominator and numerator inclusion and exclusion criteria. |
| ratio | Ratio | The measure is a ratio scoring measure, defined as the result of a ratio calculation. This is similar to a proportion scoring, with the exception that the numerator and denominator may be drawn from different initial populations. Ratio measures typically define initial population(s) and then numerator and denominator inclusion and exclusion criteria. |
| continuous-variable | Continuous Variable | The measure is a continuous variable scoring measure, defined by a measure observation calculation performed for each member of the population. Continuous variable measures typically define an initial population, then measure population inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as a measure observation. |
| composite | Composite | The measure score combines multiple component measures into a single measure score. Composite measures are typically defined by referencing other measures, and use the Composite Scoring code system to define possible composite scoring methods. |
| cohort | Cohort | The measure is a cohort definition, meaning the measure is simply the definition of a population, and the score is a count of the members of that population. Cohort measures typically define only an initial population to determine membership. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
| System | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance) |
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
