QI-Core Implementation Guide
6.0.0-ballot - ballot United States of America flag

This page is part of the Quality Improvement Core Framework (v6.0.0-ballot: STU6 (v6.0.0) Ballot 1) based on FHIR R4. The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: QICore Observation Cancelled

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-observationcancelled Version: 6.0.0-ballot
Active as of 2018-08-22 Computable Name: QICoreObservationCancelled

Profile of ObservationCancelled for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

Usage

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

The Simple Observation and ObservationCancelled profiles represent the positive and negative statements for an observation. To ensure instances retrieved meet negative intent, applications should check the status element as illustrated in this example:

define "Pap Test Refused":
  ["ObservationCancelled": "Pap Test"] PapTest
    where PapTest.notDoneReason in "Patient Refusal"

Note that when a more specific observation, such as a Blood Pressure, is negated, the resource instance should conform to both the specific observation profile AND the general negation profile.

Examples

Negation Example with valuesetObservation not indicated; indicates that none of the observations in the given not done value set were performed.
Negation Example with codeObservation not indicate; indicates that a specific observation, by code, was not done.

For a more complete discussion of representation of negation within QICore and quality improvement artifacts, see the Negation in QI Core topic.

Usage:

  • This Resource Profile is not used by any profiles in this Implementation Guide
