Defines a computable value set as one that SHALL have an expression-based definition (i.e. a value set defined intensionally using expressions of the code systems involved) and MAY have an expansion included.

The value set expansion specifies the timestamp when the expansion was produced, SHOULD contain the parameters used for the expansion, and SHALL contain the codes that are obtained by evaluating the value set definition. If this is ONLY an executable value set, a computable definition of the value set must be obtained to compute the updated expansion.

Specifies which method to be used to aggregate the measure observation values.

Specifies additional guidance for determining how the allocation for the measure specification should be performed.

Indicates the population that this stratifier should apply to.

A comment containing additional documentation, a review comment, usage guidance, or other relevant information from a particular user.

Specifies an artifact this is a component of a composite artifact.

Indicates how the calculation is performed for the measure, including proportion, ratio, continuous-variable, and cohort. The value set is extensible, allowing additional measure scoring types to be represented. When present on a group, specifies the scoring to be used for this group, overriding the scoring specified for the overall measure.

Specifies a parameters (contained) resource that identifies the options for the CQL-to-ELM translator associated with the CQL content.

Specifies which population criteria is the input to an observation definition, or the initial population for a ratio numerator or denominator.

Provides a default value for a parameter definition.

Specifies a term and its associated definition.

Defines a code directly referenced by measure logic, as opposed to a value set. Direct reference codes may be the target of data requirements.

Specifies the anchor date for the effective period as defined by a starting date and a range.

Specifies the reporting period for the measure.

Specifies the expansion parameters that should be used to expand the ValueSet, or any ValueSets in the Library (or referenced by components of the Library).

A FHIR Query URL pattern that corresponds to at least the data specified by the data requirement. If multiple FHIR Query URLs are present, they each contribute to the data specified by the data requirement (i.e. the union of the results of the FHIR Queries represents at least the complete data for the data requirement). In other words, the FHIR Query (or queries, taken together) MAY omit filters that are specified in the data requirement, such that the query would be expected to return more data than required, but it (or they, taken together) SHALL NOT return less data. This is not a resolveable URL, in that it will contain 1) No base canonical (i.e. it’s a relative query), and 2) Parameters using tokens that are delimited using double-braces and the context parameters are dependent solely on the subjectType, according to the following: Patient: context.patientId, Practitioner: context.practitionerId, Organization: context.organizationId, Location: context.locationId, Device: context.deviceId.

Specifies the id of a particular group within the measure referenced by the related artifact resource.

Information on whether an increase or decrease in score is the preferred result (e.g., a higher score indicates better quality OR a lower score indicates better quality OR quality is within a range).

Specifies the input parameters to the operation (such as a test case or data requirements operation).

Specifies whether the related artifact is defining a primary citation for the measure (i.e. one that should appear in the narrative for the measure specification.

Allows a given data requirement to be identified as “selective”, meaning that it can be used as an additive criteria to filter a population. A selective data requirement is guaranteed to define a subset (not necessarily proper) of the initial population of a measure. If multiple data requirements are marked selective, they all apply (i.e. AND semantics).

Indicates whether this instance represents the definition of a test case.

Defines a logic definition used by the measure.

Specifies the Meaningful Measures Area within the program that the measure covers or is related to.

Specifies an overall quality program that this manifest or release is part of.

The population basis specifies the type of elements in the population. For a subject-based measure, this is boolean (because the subject and the population basis are the same, and the population criteria define yes/no values for each individual in the population). For measures that have a population basis that is different than the subject, this element specifies the type of the population basis. For example, an encounter-based measure has a subject of Patient and a population basis of Encounter, and the population criteria all return lists of Encounters.

Specifies the publication date of the referenced artifacts.

Specifies the publication status of the referenced artifacts.

Specifies the quality domain within the program that the measure covers or is related to.

Describes how to combine the information calculated, based on logic in each of several populations, into one summarized result.

A description of the risk adjustment factors that may impact the resulting score for the measure and how they may be accounted for when computing and reporting measure results.

Indicates how the calculation is performed for the measure, including proportion, ratio, continuous-variable, and cohort. The value set is extensible, allowing additional measure scoring types to be represented. When present on a group, specifies the scoring to be used for this group, overriding the scoring specified for the overall measure.

Defines the expected units of measure for the measure score.

Specifies the software systems used in the packaging and testing of measure and library resources. Specifically to know which version of what software was used.

The version of CQL supported.
