Resource Profile: QICoreMedicationAdministration

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

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

Usage

To create an expression specifically requesting information that a MedicationAdministration intentionally did not occur for a medical, patient or system reason, use the profile QICore-mednotadministered.

The MedicationAdministration and MedicationNotAdministered profiles represent the positive and negative statements for a medication administration. To ensure instances retrieved meet positive intent, applications should check the status element as illustrated in this example:

// QICoreMedicationAdministration
// @profile: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-medicationadministration
define MedicationAdministration:
  [MedicationAdministration] M
    where M.status in { 'in-progress', 'on-hold', 'completed' }

The following example illustrates the accessing MedicationAdministration data:

// connectathon/fhir4/cql/EXM108_FHIR4-8.2.000.cql
define "Low Dose Unfractionated Heparin Administration":
  ["MedicationAdministration": medication in "Low Dose Unfractionated Heparin for VTE Prophylaxis"] VTEMedication
    where VTEMedication.status = 'completed'
      and VTEMedication.category ~ "Inpatient"

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.
