# Measure Stratifier Type Codes - Quality Measure Implementation Guide v2.0.0-ballot

## CodeSystem: Measure Stratifier Type Codes 

 
This code system establishes types of stratification for use in identifying subgroups of populations. These stratifications are often, but not exclusively, used in quality measurement. 

This Code system is referenced in the definition of the following value sets:

* [MeasureStratifierType](ValueSet-measure-stratifier-type.md)
