Based On: Result

The final consequences or data collected from the datatype. Results can be used in five ways, to express: That a result is present in the electronic record but any entry is acceptable. A numerical result is reported directly as a value. Values may be integers or decimal numbers without units, or as a quantity with a value and units – examples: 100 mg/dL for a lab test, 140 mmHg for blood pressure, as a percentage (actually a quantity with % as units), as a ratio (e.g., 1:4, 1:80). Beginning with QDM 5.3 measures use CQL logic to express the mathematical operators to constrain desired results to those above or below a certain threshold. A result that matches one of a specific set of coded concepts in a value set or a code that matches a direct referenced code. A result as a dateTime (Assessment, Performed and components).
