7.4.0 Care Experience

Reviewed by the CQI Workgroup in April 2018 based on QDM version 5.3. There are no changes to apply for QDM version 5.4.

QDM defines Care Experience as the experience a patient has when receiving care or a provider has when providing care. QDM represents two kinds of care experience: Patient Care Experience and Provider Care Experience. While generally interpreted as patient or provider satisfaction, experience may also represent understanding, involvement and other factors about the care received or given. Most often organizations obtain such information using questionnaires. Use cases are welcome to help provide examples for us of this concept. The Care Experience concept best fits with the FHIR Observation resource.
