Summary Measure Reporting Interactions
Introduction
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, for a colorectal cancer screening CQM, “the data-of-interest” is the patient counts of 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.
Profiles
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 |
Summary Measure Reporting
When the results of a quality measure are completed for a population at the end of a reporting 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.
Usage
for a single MeasureReport:
POST|[base]/MeasureReport
for a Bundle Transaction:
POST|[base]
Examples
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.
POST Summary Report
POST [base]/MeasureReport
