This resource has 2 operations associated with it:

$evaluate-measureEvaluate Measure
$data-requirementsData Requirements

For more information about operations, including how they are invoked, see Operations.

The evaluate-measure operation is used to invoke an eMeasure and obtain the results

Formal Definition (as a OperationDefinition).

URL: [base]/Measure/$evaluate-measure

URL: [base]/Measure/[id]/$evaluate-measure

In Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
periodStart1..1date

The start of the measurement period

periodEnd1..1date

The end of the measurement period

measure0..1Reference(Measure)

The measure to evaluate

reportType0..1code

The type of measure report, patient, patient-list, or population

patient0..1Reference(Patient)

Patient to evaluate against

practitioner0..1Reference(Practitioner)

Practitioner to evaluate

lastReceivedOn0..1dateTime

The date the results of this measure were last received

Out Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
return1..1MeasureReport

The results of the measure calculation

Note: as this the only out parameter, it is a resource, and it has the name 'return', the result of this operation is returned directly as a resource

The effect of invoking this operation is to calculate the measure for the given patient, or all patients if no patient is supplied, and return the results as a MeasureReport resource of the appropriate type

 

The data-requirements operation aggregates and returns the parameters and data requirements for the measure and all its dependencies as a single module definition

Formal Definition (as a OperationDefinition).

URL: [base]/Measure/[id]/$data-requirements

In Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
periodStart1..1date

The start of the measurement period

periodEnd1..1date

The end of the measurement period

Out Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
return1..1Library

The result of the requirements gathering

Note: as this the only out parameter, it is a resource, and it has the name 'return', the result of this operation is returned directly as a resource

The effect of invoking this operation is to determine the aggregate set of data requirements and dependencies for the measure. The result is a Library resource with a type of module-definition that contains all the parameter definitions and data requirements of the libraries referenced by the measures. Implementations SHOULD aggregate data requirements intelligently (i.e. by collapsing overlapping data requirements)
