Behavior: Operation Definitions

These are custom operations that can be supported by and/or invoked by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Bulk Submit Data

The bulk-submit-data operation sends a bulk import request based on the data requirements of a FHIR Measure. This operation is modeled off the existing draft of the Bulk Data Import Ping and Pull Approach.

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.

DEQM Evaluate Measure

The deqm.evaluate-measure operation is used to calculate an eMeasure and obtain the results.

Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

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 Gaps In Care Bundle

The DEQM Gaps In Care Bundle 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 indivdiual MeasureReport(s). Each section of this composition corresponds to an indivdiual MeasureReport for a specific measure. The subject of each 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 reported has an open gap or a closed gap as identified in the gapStatus modifier extension.

DEQM Gaps In Care Group Profile

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

DEQM Individual MeasureReport List

A list that contains entries of referencing DEQM Individual MeasureReport resources for the same measure, one for each subject in the overall population.

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 MedicationAdministration Profile

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

DEQM Subject List MeasureReport

Subject List MeasureReport is for data exchange and reporting on a list of patients, which also allows individual MeasureReports be provided for each of the patients in the population.

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.

Detailed Care Gap Guidance Response

Derived from the GuidanceResponse resource, the Detailed Care Gap Guidance Response profile supports the functionality of providing reason for guidance and detailed guidance to help address care gaps and close open gaps.

Structures: Extension Definitions

These define constraints on FHIR data types for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

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 Calculated Date Extension

This extension applies to the date the metric was actually calculated. If your measure calculation draws on stored calculations and there are multiple calculation dates, this extension would not apply, as in the example of a composite measure where the individual measures were calculated on different dates. This would only cover the case where there is only one calculation date.

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 Criteria Reference Extension

Identifies which measure criteria (i.e. population, stratifier, or supplementalData) was responsible for the inclusion of the evaluatedResource or supplementalData on which it appears.

DEQM Data Location Extension

Location from which reported data was gathered. This extension is used to provide the location(s) from which reported data was gathered in a MeasureReport, such as individual, summary and data exchange measure report.

DEQM Gap Status Modifier Extension

Identifies detected care gap status.

DEQM Group Improvement Notation Extension

Indicates whether improvement in the measure group is noted by an increase or decrease in the measure score.

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 Population Reference Extension

Deprecated: Identifies which measure population that a specific resource is used for evaluating their logics by referencing population criteria id (Measure.group.population.id) specified in Measure resource.

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 Program Extension

Extension that supports the reporting program as a reference to a Library conforming to the Quality Program profile, as well as a CodeableConcept bound to the Quality Program value set.

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 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.
DEQM Supplemental Data Extension

This extension allows supplementalData to be included in the MeasureReport. For supplementalData that is a calculation, this will be a reference to an Observation containing the result of the supplementalData calculation. For supplementalData that is a resource, this will be a reference to the supplementalData resource.
