Concepts for how a DEQM Consumer supports data exchange updates. The choices are snapshot or incremental updates

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

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/deqm/CodeSystem/deqm-update-type defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
incremental Incremental In contrast to the Snapshot Update, the FHIR Parameters resource used in a Submit Data or the Collect Data scenario contains only the new and updated DEQM and QI Core Profiles since the last transaction. If the Consumer supports incremental updates, the contents of the updated payload updates the previous payload data.
snapshot Snapshot In contrast to the Incremental Update, the FHIR Parameters resource used in a Submit Data or the Collect Data scenario contains all the DEQM and QI Core Profiles for each transaction. If the Consumer supports snapshot updates, the contents of the updated payload entirely replaces the previous payload
