This page is part of the Da Vinci Data Exchange for Quality Measures (DEQM) FHIR IG (v2.1.0: STU 3) based on FHIR R4. The current version which supercedes this version is 3.1.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions
ONLY the new content for Gaps in Care is in the scope for ballot for the September, 2020 Ballot Cycle. Summary Reporting is not in scope for ballot comment.
A summary report contains calculated summary data for one or more Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs) for a specified population of patients within a particular health system over a specific period of time. For example, a colorectal cancer screening CQM has patient counts for the initial population, denominator, denominator exclusions, and numerator respectively for a specified population of patients. Summary reports may also contain summary data for stratifier criteria (such as gender or age) as defined in a CQM.
The Summary reporting scenario is supported by the DEQM Summary MeasureReport Profile. Transactions between Reporters (for example, organizations that deliver care to patients, such as a practice or hospital) and Receivers (organizations that want to evaluate CQMs, such as quality reporting programs) are triggered by specific administrative events such as the submission of summary level quality reports for CQMs to various quality reporting programs.
The following resources are used in the summary reporting scenario:
Resource Type | Profile Name | Link to Profile |
---|---|---|
Measure | CQFM Measure Profile | CQFM Measure |
Summary MeasureReport | DEQM Summary MeasureReport Profile | DEQM Summary MeasureReport Profile |
Organization | DEQM Organization Profile | DEQM Organization |
When the results of a quality measure are completed for a population at the end of a measurement period, they are POSTed to the quality measure Receiver’s FHIR Server. The report may only consist of the Summary MeasureReport in which case it is POSTed to the MeasureReport endpoint. If there are other referenced resources all the resources are bundled together as a set of POST
interactions and sent as a single transaction interaction using the Standard FHIR API. Multiple summary results can be sent in a single FHIR Bundle as described here. (Note that if the Bundle consist of only Summary MeasureReports, then a collection bundle is used.)
Posting a Summary Measure Report is typically a one time event, although there may be a need to amend or update a report or to report periodically based on the reporting program. If the payload is a single Summary MeasureReport it is updated using the PUT or Delete transactions. Otherwise, the FHIR transaction bundle is used and SHALL contains only the new and updated DEQM and QI Core Profiles since the last transaction or those that need to be deleted. (Bundle.request.method
= POST, PUT, or DELETE).
for a single MeasureReport:
POST|[base]/MeasureReport
for a Bundle Transaction:
POST|[base]
Standard error responses to the Summary Reporting FHIR RESTful transactions including appropriate http response codes are documented in the FHIR specification for RESTful API.
Scenario:
Payer X who is acting in the role of a Reporter submits a MRP Summary Report for MRP for period P to Receiver Z. The body of the request is MeasureReport resource containing the required summary data for MRP attestation for the period. (Note that this a simplified example and just populates the count for initial population. However, counts for all populations specified in an eCQM should be reported in a summary report) An HTTP Status success code is returned on successful submission.
