Behavior: Operation Definitions

These are custom operations that can be supported by and/or invoked by systems complying with this implementation guide

Care Gaps Operation

The care-gaps operation is used to determine gaps in care for a specified gaps through period based on the results of quality measures.

Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources that need to be complied with by conformant implementations

DEQM Practitioner Profile

The DEQM Practitioner Profile defines the constraints for representing the practitioner who performed the measure or to which is attesting.

DEQM Summary MeasureReport Profile

MeasureReport is used as an organizer for both data exchange for measure and for measure reporting. Three profiles on the MeasureReport resource are defined in this guide to delineate these different uses. The DEQM Summary MeasureReport Profile defined here is used when a measure is reported to an aggregator for a group of patients. It contains all of the data that is relevant to generate the report including the measure outcome and is similar to a QRDA Category 3 report. Unlike the DEQM Individual MeasureReport Profile, the report is typically transacted as a single MeasureReport report.

DEQM Individual MeasureReport Profile

MeasureReport is used as an organizer for both data exchange for measure and for measure reporting. Three profiles on the MeasureReport resource are defined in this guide to delineate these different uses. The DEQM Individual MeasureReport Profile defined here is used when a measure is reported to an aggregator for one specific patient. It contains all of the data that is relevant to generate the report including the measure outcome and is similar to a QRDA Category 1 report. In addition to the MeasureReport, the report would be collected in a Bundle with the Organization, Patient and any other resources that were used to calculate this measure.

DEQM Gaps In Care Individual MeasureReport Profile

MeasureReport is used as an organizer for both data exchange for measure and for measure reporting. Four profiles on the MeasureReport resource are defined in this guide to delineate these different uses. The DEQM Gaps In Care Individual MeasureReport Profile defined here is based on the DEQM Individual MeasureReport Profile. It is used when a gaps in care report for a measure is reported to an aggregator for one specific patient. It contains all of the data that is relevant to generate the gaps in care report including the measure outcome and is similar to a QRDA Category 1 report. The DEQM Gaps In Care Individual MeasureReport Profile differs from a DEQM Individual MeasureReport Profile by specifying additionally that an evaluated resource can be associated with a specific population within a measure through the DEQM Population Reference Extension.

DEQM Data Exchange MeasureReport Profile

MeasureReport is used as an organizer for both data exchange for measure and for measure reporting. Three profiles on the MeasureReport resource are defined in this guide to delineate these different uses. When a data producer needs to send data to a data consumer, they use the DEQM Data-Exchange MeasureReport Profile defined here. The type element in this profile is set to “data-collection”. Along with the MeasureReport profile, the data producer sends the Organization, Patient and any relevant resources for the measure they have produced data on. When a data producer sends a MeasureReport and the associated data, they may not have all the data that is required to calculate the measure report. Additional data may need to be collected later or there may be additional data used in the measure that the aggregator owns such as a continuous coverage period requirement.

DEQM Coverage Profile

The DEQM Coverage Profile defines the constraints for representing the subscriber information to the Payer. This along with the patient first name, last name, date of birth and gender allows the payer to identify the member in their system.

DEQM Organization Profile

The DEQM Organization Profile defines the constraints for representing the organization for which the practitioner was working when he performed the measure to which he is attesting.

DEQM MedicationAdministration Profile

The DEQM MedicationAdministration Profile describes the event of a patient consuming or otherwise being administered a medication

DEQM Gaps In Care Bundle Profile

The DEQM Gaps In Care Bundle Profile describes a bundle returned by the Measure care-gaps operation. This bundle consists of a document composition for gaps in care and supporting resources referenced by the composition.

DEQM Gaps In Care Composition Profile

The DEQM Gaps In Care Composition Profile defines a document composition consisting of one or more gaps in care indivdiual MeasureReport(s) for an individual. Each section of this composition corresponds to a gaps in care indivdiual MeasureReport for a specific measure. The subject of each gaps in care individual MeasureReport referenced by the section must be for the same individual specified in the subject of this Composition.

DEQM Gaps In Care Detected Issue Profile

The DEQM Gaps In Care DetectedIssue Profile indicates that the measure that is referenced in the DEQM Gaps In Care Individual MeasureReport has an open gap. Detected Issues SHALL not be created for any DEQM Gaps In Care Individual MeasureReport where the gap is closed.

DEQM Gaps In Care Group Profile

The DEQM Gaps In Care Group Profile describes a group consisting of one or more patients.

Structures: Extension Definitions

These define constraints on FHIR data types that need to be complied with by conformant implementations

DEQM Measure Scoring Extension

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

DEQM Alternate Score Type Extension

Possible value types for the measureScore elements in addition to the standard Quantity type. The alternate type is determined by the Quality Measure Aggregate Method extension used on the Measure. The reported type of the measureScore for continuous variable measures is determined by the result type of the aggregate method operation. This extension corresponds to the measureScore types in the FHIR R5 version of MeasureReport.

DEQM Reporter Group Extension

Group of practitioners responsible for a report. This extension is used to provide the capability to allow the participating practitioners to be documented.

DEQM Reporting Vendor Extension

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.

DEQM Certification Identifier Extension

An identifier that represents the EHR certication number (CERHT). See Certified EHR Technology For more information. This Extension is used when the receiver is interested in getting EHR certification information in the report.

DEQM Population Reference Extension

Identifies which measure population that a specific resource is used for evaluating their logics. This is indicated by associating a resource with a population code selected from the MeasurePopulationType value set, such as numerator and denominator.

DEQM Submit Data Update Type Extension

This Extension supports the concepts ‘incremental’ and ‘snapshot’ and corresponds to the measureScore types in the FHIR R5 version of MeasureReport.

  • The DEQM Consumer Server SHALL use this Extension to advertise whether it supports snapshot or incremental updates for the DEQM Submit Data transaction.
  • The DEQM Producer Client SHALL use this Extension to indicate whether the payload is a snapshot or incremental update for DEQM Submit Data transaction. When responding to the DEQM Collect Data transaction, the DEQM Producer Server SHALL value it ‘incremental’ if the lastReceivedOn parameter is present or ‘snapshot if the lastReceivedOn parameter is absent.
