Expansion based on MeasureType v2.0.0 (CodeSystem) icon

Code	System	Display	Definition
process	http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type	Process	A measure which focuses on a process which leads to a certain outcome, meaning that a scientific basis exists for believing that the process, when executed well, will increase the probability of achieving a desired outcome.
outcome	http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type	Outcome	A measure that indicates the result of the performance (or non-performance) of a function or process.
structure	http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type	Structure	A measure that focuses on a health care provider's capacity, systems, and processes to provide high-quality care.
patient-reported-outcome	http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type	Patient Reported Outcome	A measure that focuses on patient-reported information such as patient engagement or patient experience measures.
composite	http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type	Composite	A measure that combines multiple component measures in to a single quality measure.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information

Source

The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)

Code

The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')

Display

The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application

Definition

An explanation of the meaning of the concept
