Extension: CQFM Population Basis

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/cqfmeasures/StructureDefinition/cqfm-populationBasis Version: 4.0.0
Active as of 2019-02-13 Computable Name: CQFMPopulationBasis

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.

A measure specification needs to be able to specify the expected result type of each population criteria. This value SHALL be consistent with the result type of all population-level criteria in the measure.

Context of Use

Summary

Simple Extension of type code: 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.
