The DecisionSupportServiceModule resource describes decision support functionality that is available as a service.

A logical identifier for the module such as the CMS or NQF identifiers for a measure artifact.

The 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.

A reference to a ModuleMetadata resource describing the metadata for the decision support service module.

The parameters to the module. This collection specifies both the input and output parameters. Input parameters are provided by the caller as part of the $evaluate operation. Output parameters are included in the GuidanceResponse.

The name of the parameter.

Whether the parameter is input or output for the module.

A brief discussion of what the parameter is for and how it is used by the module.

The type of the parameter.

If specified, this indicates a profile that the input data must conform to, or that the output data will conform to.

Indicates that specific elements of the type are referenced by the knowledge module and must be supported by the consumer in order to obtain an effective evaluation. This does not mean that a value is required for this element, only that the consuming system must understand the element and be able to provide values for it if they are available.

Indicates that incoming data for this parameter is expected to match the given code filter. In other words, every instance should have a value for the path element that comes from the specified value set (or list of concepts).

The code-valued attribute of the filter. The specified path must be resolvable from the type of the required data. The path is allowed to contain qualifiers (.) to traverse sub-elements, as well as indexers ([x]) to traverse multiple-cardinality sub-elements. Note that the index must be an integer constant. The path must resolve to an element of type code, Coding, or CodeableConcept.

The valueset for the code filter. The valueSet or codeableConcept elements are exclusive. If valueSet is specified, the filter will return only those data items for which the value of the code-valued element specified in the path is a member of the specified valueset.

The codeable concept for the code filter. Only one of valueSet or codeableConcept may be specified. If codeableConcepts are given, the filter will return only those data items for which the code-valued attribute specified by the path has a value that is one of the specified codeable concepts.

Indicates that incoming data for this parameter is expected to match the given date filter. In other words, every instance should have a value for the path element that is equal to the given datetime (or within the given Period).

The date-valued attribute of the filter. The specified path must be resolvable from the type of the required data. The path is allowed to contain qualifiers (.) to traverse sub-elements, as well as indexers ([x]) to traverse multiple-cardinality sub-elements. Note that the index must be an integer constant. The path must resolve to an element of type dateTime, Period, Schedule, or Timing.

The value of the filter. If period is specified, the filter will return only those data items that fall within the bounds determined by the Period, inclusive of the period boundaries. If dateTime is specified, the filter will return only those data items that are equal to the specified dateTime.
