QI-Core Implementation Guide
7.0.0-ballot - STU7 Ballot United States of America flag

This page is part of the Quality Improvement Core Framework (v7.0.0-ballot: STU7 (v7.0.0) Ballot 1) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. The current version which supersedes this version is 6.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: QICore CommunicationRequest

Active as of 2018-08-22 Computable Name: QICoreCommunicationRequest

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

QI Elements:
  • status: draft | active | on-hold | revoked | completed | entered-in-error | unknown
  • category: Message category
  • doNotPerform: True if request is prohibiting action
  • subject: Focus of message
  • encounter: Encounter created as part of
  • recipient: Message recipient
  • sender: Message sender
Primary code path: category
(PCPath) This element is the primary code path for this resource CQL Retrieve


NOTE TO BALLOT REVIEWERS:
  • US Core 7.0, and thus QI-Core 7.0, has a new approach to USCDI requirements.
    • As noted in the US Core 7.0 Must Support section, US Core 7.0 no longer highlights mandatory (cardinality 1..* or 1..1) and Must Support elements with a (USCDI) indicator as such items must be supported for interoperability.
    • Those USCDI elements that are not mandatory or Must Support now include an indicator (ADDITIONAL USCDI) in US Core. QI-Core 7.0 does not reference USCDI elements; rather, users should access US Core 7.0 to understand its implementation of USCDI version 4.
  • We invite comments about the approach and suggestions for other options that would also avoid unnecessary noise or reading load to the QI-Core profile representation.
  • Further, QI-Core 7.0 does not discuss USCDI+Quality because at the time of ballot preparation, no published version of USCDI+Quality is available. We seek reviewer advice regarding how QI-Core might address future USCDI+Quality.
