Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the MeasureReport resource.

MeasureReport
Element IdMeasureReport
Definition

The MeasureReport resource contains the results of the calculation of a measure; and optionally a reference to the resources involved in that calculation.

Short DisplayResults of a measure evaluation
Cardinality0..*
TypeDomainResource
Summaryfalse
Invariants

mrp-1Rule Measure Reports used for data collection SHALL NOT communicate group and score information(type != 'data-exchange') or group.exists().not()
mrp-2Rule Stratifiers SHALL be either a single criteria or a set of criteria componentsgroup.stratifier.stratum.all(value.exists() xor component.exists())
MeasureReport.identifier
Element IdMeasureReport.identifier
Definition

A formal identifier that is used to identify this MeasureReport when it is represented in other formats or referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance.

Short DisplayAdditional identifier for the MeasureReport
NoteThis is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion)
Cardinality0..*
TypeIdentifier
Requirements

Allows externally provided and/or usable business identifiers to be easily associated with the module.

Summarytrue
Comments

Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II data type - e.g. to identify this {{title}} outside of FHIR, where the logical URL is not possible to use.

MeasureReport.status
Element IdMeasureReport.status
Definition

The MeasureReport status. No data will be available until the MeasureReport status is complete.

Short Displaycomplete | pending | error
Cardinality1..1
Terminology BindingMeasure Report Status (Required)
Typecode
Is Modifiertrue (Reason: This element is labelled as a modifier because it is a status element that contains status entered-in-error which means that the resource should not be treated as valid)
Summarytrue
Comments

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid.

MeasureReport.type
Element IdMeasureReport.type
Definition

The type of measure report. This may be an individual report, which provides the score for the measure for an individual member of the population; a subject-listing, which returns the list of members that meet the various criteria in the measure; a summary report, which returns a population count for each of the criteria in the measure; or a data-collection, which enables the MeasureReport to be used to exchange the data-of-interest for a quality measure.

Short Displayindividual | subject-list | summary | data-exchange
Cardinality1..1
Terminology BindingMeasure Report Type (Required)
Typecode
Summarytrue
Comments

Data-exchange reports are used only to communicate data-of-interest for a measure. They do not necessarily include all the data for a particular subject or population, but they may.

Invariants
Affect this element
mrp-1Rule Measure Reports used for data collection SHALL NOT communicate group and score information(type != 'data-exchange') or group.exists().not()
MeasureReport.dataUpdateType
Element IdMeasureReport.dataUpdateType
Definition

Indicates whether the data submitted in a data-exchange report represents a snapshot or incremental update. A snapshot update replaces all previously submitted data for the receiver, whereas an incremental update represents only updated and/or changed data and should be applied as a differential update to the existing submitted data for the receiver.

Short Displayincremental | snapshot
Cardinality0..1
Terminology BindingSubmit Data Update Type (Required)
Typecode
Is Modifiertrue (Reason: This element determines whether the data in a data-exchange measure report is a snapshot or incremental update and is required in order to correctly apply the data update to a receiving system)
Requirements

Allows receiving systems to support incremental exchange of data, reducing overall bandwidth requirements.

Summarytrue
Comments

This element only applies to Data-collection reports used to communicate the data-of-interest for a measure

MeasureReport.measure
Element IdMeasureReport.measure
Definition

A reference to the Measure that was calculated to produce this report.

Short DisplayWhat measure was calculated
Cardinality0..1

The individual or organization that is reporting the data.

Short DisplayWho is reporting the data
Cardinality0..1
TypeReference(Practitioner | PractitionerRole | Organization | Group)
Summarytrue
MeasureReport.reportingVendor
Element IdMeasureReport.reportingVendor
Definition

A reference to the vendor who queried the data, calculated results and/or generated the report. The ‘reporting vendor’ is intended to represent the submitting entity when it is not the same as the reporting entity. This extension is used when the Receiver is interested in getting vendor information in the report.

Short DisplayWhat vendor prepared the data
Cardinality0..1
TypeReference(Organization)
Summaryfalse
MeasureReport.location
Element IdMeasureReport.location
Definition

A reference to the location for which the data is being reported.

Cardinality1..1
TypePeriod
Summarytrue
MeasureReport.inputParameters
Element IdMeasureReport.inputParameters
Definition

A reference to a Parameters resource (typically represented using a contained resource) that represents any input parameters that were provided to the operation that generated the report.

Short DisplayWhat parameters were provided to the report
Cardinality0..1
TypeReference(Parameters)
Summaryfalse
Comments

Whenever an operation returns a MeasureReport, the IN parameters from that operation can be returned to the caller of the operation using MeasureReport.inputParameters. Operations include but are not limited to $evaluate-measure, $care-gaps, $data-requirements, and $collect-data. The inputParameters can also be used in a MeasureReport used to define a test case (i.e., not as a result of an operation).

MeasureReport.scoring
Element IdMeasureReport.scoring
Definition

Indicates how the calculation is performed for the measure, including proportion, ratio, continuous-variable, and cohort. The value set is extensible, allowing additional measure scoring types to be represented. It is expected to be the same as the scoring element on the referenced Measure.

Short DisplayWhat scoring method (e.g. proportion, ratio, continuous-variable)
Cardinality0..1
Terminology BindingMeasureScoring icon (Extensible)
TypeCodeableConcept
Is Modifiertrue (Reason: Scoring determines what method was used to calculate the measure score and is required for correct interpretation of the score)
Summarytrue
MeasureReport.improvementNotation
Element IdMeasureReport.improvementNotation
Definition

Whether improvement in the measure is noted by an increase or decrease in the measure score.

Short Displayincrease | decrease
Cardinality0..1
Terminology BindingMeasure Improvement Notation (Required)
TypeCodeableConcept
Is Modifiertrue (Reason: Improvement notation determines how to interpret the measure score (i.e. whether an increase is an improvement))
Summarytrue
Comments

This element is typically defined by the measure, but reproduced here to ensure the measure score can be interpreted. The element is labeled as a modifier because it changes the interpretation of the reported measure score. Note also that a MeasureReport instance includes the improvementNotation as defined by the Measure being reported. It is duplicated in the MeasureReport because it is a critical aspect of interpreting the measure score but it is not intended to reflect whether the measure report is an increase or decrease. It helps interpret if the measure score is an increase or decrease, I.e., moving in the direction of the desired outcome.

MeasureReport.group
Element IdMeasureReport.group
Definition

Summaryfalse
Comments

This element SHALL NOT be used in with subjectResults, either systems provide results as a List of MeasureReport, or as references to individual MeasureReports. Note that using this element introduces a constraint on the size of the subject-list MeasureReport; implementations would be free to return a TOO-COSTLY response if a request is made for a subject-list report with too many subjects.

In addition, the referenced Group resource SHALL be an actual (as opposed to a definitional) group.
