Profile
StructureDefinitions
cqif-evidenceDocumentReferenceAn evidence profile describes evidence to support a particular evaluation result or care recommendation.
cqif-guidanceartifactBasicA guidance artifact represents the decision support-specific aspects of a knowledge module through the content element. The content may refer to an existing artifact in another format, or it may refer to other FHIR resources that provide the structure for the content of the knowledge artifact.
cqif-guidancerequestBasicA guidance request is a derivative of a knowledge request specifically focused on the decision support use case, providing information relevant to decision support such as workflow and user context.
cqif-guidanceresponseBasicA guidance response is the formal response to a previous guidance request. It is a derivative of the knowledge response that provides additional information relevant specifically to clinical decision support such as a description of any proposed actions to be taken.
cqif-knowledgemoduleBasicA knowledge module is a description of a quality improvement function made available by a knowledge evaluation service. A module may correspond directly to an artifact or group of related artifacts, or it may correspond to functionality provided by the service and not necessarily associated with any tangible knowledge artifact. The knowledge module serves as the descriptive unit for functionality supported by a knowledge service such as a decision support service, measure evaluation service, or other quality improvement service.
cqif-knowledgerequestBasicA knowledge request is a formal request for the evaluation of some artifact or group of artifacts as part of a clinical quality workflow. This may be part of a direct, point-of-care, workflow, such as a decision support request, or it may be part of a clinical quality assessment such as a request to calculate a particular quality measure.
cqif-knowledgeresponseBasicA knowledge response is the formal response to a previous knowledge request, describing the result of the evaluation of the requested artifact or artifacts. This information is used as part of the knowledgeEvaluation operation definition.
cqif-questionnaireQuestionnaireA CQIF questionnaire is a questionnaire with the added ability to describe behavior associated with questions. For example, whether or not to display a particular question or group of questions, or automatically calculating the value of an answer based on the answers to previous questions.

StructureDefinitions
cqif-basic-codeSystemcodeSystemA code system definition used within the knowledge module.
cqif-basic-contentThe content of the moduleThe content of the module, if any. If this is a library, this would be the CQL or ELM representation of the library contents.
cqif-basic-contributorcontributorA contributor to the content of the module.
cqif-basic-dataDescribes a required data itemDescribes a required data item for evaluation in terms of the type of data, and optional code- or date-based filters of the data.
cqif-basic-descriptiondescriptionA description of the module from the consumer perspective.
cqif-basic-effectivePeriodeffectivePeriodThe period during which the module content is effective.
cqif-basic-evaluateAtDateTimeIndicates that the evaluation should be performed as though it was the given date and timeIndicates that the evaluation should be performed as though it was the given date and time. The most direct implication of this is that references to "Now" within the evaluation logic of the module should result in this value. In addition, wherever possible, the data accessed by the module should appear as though it was accessed at this time. The evaluateAtDateTime value may be any time in the past or future, enabling both retrospective and prospective scenarios. If no value is provided, the requestDateTime is assumed.
cqif-basic-evaluationMessageMessages resulting from the evaluation of the artifact or artifactsMessages resulting from the evaluation of the artifact or artifacts. As part of evaluating the request, the engine may produce informational or warning messages. These messages will be provided by this element.
cqif-basic-evaluationSupportedIndicates whether or not the service supports evaluation of the moduleIndicates whether or not the service supports evaluation of the module. If evaluation is supported, an evaluation operation must be exposed as defined by this implementation guide.
cqif-basic-expressionThe name of an expression in a referenced libraryThe name of an expression in a referenced library that describes the logic for a particular context.
cqif-basic-guidance-actionactionDetailed actions resulting from the evaluation, if any.
cqif-basic-guidance-encounterClassencounterClassThe class of encounter (inpatient, outpatient, etc).
cqif-basic-guidance-encounterTypeencounterTypeThe type of the encounter.
cqif-basic-guidance-initiatingOrganizationinitiatingOrganizationThe organization initiating the request.
cqif-basic-guidance-initiatingPersoninitiatingPersonThe person initiating the request.
cqif-basic-guidance-receivingOrganizationreceivingOrganizationThe organization that will receive the response.
cqif-basic-guidance-receivingPersonreceivingPersonThe person in the receiving organization that will receive the response.
cqif-basic-guidance-recipientLanguagerecipientLanguagePreferred language of the person that will consume the content.
cqif-basic-guidance-recipientTyperecipientTypeThe type of individual that will consume the response content. This may be different from the requesting user type (e.g. if a clinician is getting disease management guidance for provision to a patient). E.g. patient, healthcare provider or specific type of healthcare provider (physician, nurse, etc.).
cqif-basic-guidance-structurestructureThe content of the artifact.
cqif-basic-guidance-systemUserLanguagesystemUserLanguagePreferred language of the person using the system.
cqif-basic-guidance-systemUserTaskContextThe task the system user is performingThe task the system user is performing, e.g. laboratory results review, medication list review, etc. This information can be used to tailor decision support outputs, such as recommended information resources.
cqif-basic-guidance-systemUserTypeThe type of user initiating the requestThe type of user initiating the request, e.g. patient, healthcare provider, or specific type of healthcare provider (physician, nurse, etc.).
cqif-basic-guidance-triggertriggerA description of a triggering event.
cqif-basic-inputParametersThe input parameters for a request, if anyThe input parameters for a request, if any. These parameters are used to provide patient-independent information to the evaluation. Patient-specific information is either accessed directly as part of the evaluation (because the evaluation engine and the patient-data are co-located) or provided as part of the operation input in the form of resources.
cqif-basic-keywordkeywordKeywords associated with the module.
cqif-basic-lastReviewDatelastReviewDateThe date on which the module content was last reviewed.
cqif-basic-libraryA library referenced by the moduleA library referenced by the module. The reference must consist of either an id, or a document reference.

cqif-basic-moduleStatusstatusThe status of the module.
cqif-basic-moduleVersionThe version of the module, if anyThe version of the module, if any. To provide a version consistent with the Decision Support Service specification, use the format Major.Minor.Revision (e.g. 1.0.0). For more information on versioning knowledge modules, refer to the Decision Support Service specification.
cqif-basic-outputParametersThe output parameters of the evaluation, if anyThe output parameters of the evaluation, if any. Many modules will result in the return of specific resources such as procedure or communication requests that are returned as part of the operation result. However, modules may define specific outputs that would be returned as the result of the evaluation, and these would be returned in this element.
cqif-basic-parameterparameterParameters to the module.
cqif-basic-publicationDatepublicationDateThe date on which the module was published.
cqif-basic-publisherpublisherThe organization responsible for publishing the module.
cqif-basic-purposepurposeA brief description of the purpose of the module.

cqif-basic-requestDateTimeThe date and time of the requestThe date and time of the request, with respect to the initiator.
cqif-basic-requestIdThe id of the request associated with this response, if anyThe id of the request associated with this response. If an id was provided as part of the request, it will be provided here to enable the requester to more easily identify the response in a multi-request scenario.
cqif-basic-responseStatusThe status of the responseThe status of the response. If the evaluation is completed successfully, the status will indicate success. However, in order to complete the evaluation, the engine may require more information. In this case, the status will be data-required, and the response will contain a description of the additional required information. If the evaluation completed successfully, but the engine determines that a potentially more accurate response could be provided if more data was available, the status will be data-requested, and the response will contain a description of the additional requested information.
cqif-basic-rightsDeclarationrightsDeclarationThe legal rights declaration for the module.
cqif-basic-stewardstewardThe organization responsible for stewardship of the module content.
cqif-basic-strengthOfRecommendationThe strength of the recommendationThe strength of the recommendation assigned to this reference.
