The Measure resource provides the definition of a quality measure.

4.19.1 Scope and Usage

This resource is a draft proposal for use as part of an approach to Clinical Quality within FHIR, and is documented as part of the Clinical Quality Improvement Framework Implementation Guide. Future updates to this resource will incorporate documentation from that guide.
