7.3.0 Assessment

This QDM to QI Core Mapping for the QDM Category "Assessment" was reviewed by the CQI WG on March 9, 2018 for QDM version 5.3 and updated to QDM 5.4 on June 7, 2018. QDM 5.4 added the QDM datatype "Assessment, Order" that was not present in QDM version 5.3. In QDM 5.4, the "method" attribute has been removed from "Assessment, Order" and "Assessment, Recommended" but is retained for "Assessment, Performed".

QDM defines Assessment as a resource used to define specific observations that clinicians use to guide treatment of the patient. An assessment can be a single question, or observable entity with an expected response, an organized collection of questions intended to solicit information from patients, providers or other individuals, or a single observable entity that is part of such a collection of questions. US-Core defines a specific resource for smoking status assessment; other observations that meet the QDM definition of assessment use the FHIR Observation resource:
