This page is part of the Quality Improvement Core Framework (v4.1.1: STU 4) based on FHIR R4. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: QICoreEncounter

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-encounter Version: 4.1.1
Draft as of 2018-08-22 Computable Name: QICoreEncounter

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

Usage

The following example illustrates accessing an inpatient encounter:

define "Inpatient Encounter":
  [Encounter: "Encounter Inpatient"] EncounterInpatient
    where EncounterInpatient.status = 'finished'
      and "LengthInDays"(EncounterInpatient.period) <= 120
      and EncounterInpatient.period ends during "Measurement Period"

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

Examples

Inpatient Admission for Appendicitis
