This value set contains 5 concepts
| Code | System | Display | Inactive | Definition | 
| process  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type | Process | A measure which focuses on a process which leads to a certain outcome, meaning that a scientific basis exists for believing that the process, when executed well, will increase the probability of achieving a desired outcome. | |
| outcome  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type | Outcome | A measure that indicates the result of the performance (or non-performance) of a function or process. | |
| structure  | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/measure-type | Structure | A measure that focuses on a health care provider's capacity, systems, and processes to provide high-quality care. | |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information | 
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) | 
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') | 
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application | 
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept | 
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
