QI-Core Implementation Guide
7.0.0 - STU 7 United States of America flag

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

Resource Profile: QICore Medication

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-medication Version: 7.0.0
Standards status: Trial-use Maturity Level: 4 Computable Name: QICoreMedication

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

"Must Have", "QI Elements" and "primary code path" are defined in the QI-Core Must Support section.
Must Have:
  • code: Codes that identify this medication
Primary code path: code
(PCPath) This element is the primary code path for this resource CQL Retrieve

Usage 
define function "GetMedicationCode"(request MedicationRequest):
  if request.medication is CodeableConcept then
    request.medication as CodeableConcept
  else
    (singleton from ([Medication] M where M.id = GetId((request.medication as Reference).reference))).code

See the patterns page for implementation and usage patterns.

Examples
