Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document a request for the procedure indicated by the QDM category and its corresponding value set. Timing: The time the order is signed; Author dateTime.
A statement that asserts an action relating to the subject. The subject is often the patient, but may....
The time the data element was entered into the clinical software. Note, some datatypes include both Relevant Time and Author dateTime attributes. The purpose is to accommodate Author dateTime if the actual start and stop times are not available when evaluating for feasibility, and also to allow specification of a time for Negation Rationale.
DataTypeCardinalityThe thought process or justification for the datatype. In some measures, specific treatments are acceptable inclusion criteria only if a justified reason is present. Each of these measures uses a value set (often, but not exclusively, using SNOMED- CT®) to express acceptable justification reasons. Other measures specify reasons as justification for exclusions. Examples include patient, system, or medical-related reasons for declining to perform specific actions. Each of these measures also uses a value set to express acceptable justification reasons for declining to perform expected actions.
DataTypeCardinalityIndicates the procedure or technique used in its performance.
DataTypeCardinalityThe anatomical site or structure where the diagnosis/problem manifests itself (a). The anatomical site or structure where that is the focus of the action represented by the datatype (b).
DataTypeCardinalityThe anatomical site or structure where the diagnosis/problem manifests itself (a). The anatomical site or structure where that is the focus of the action represented by the datatype (b).
DataTypeCardinalityThe scale in which different procedures are ordered in terms of the qualitative value, as opposed to a ranking performed strictly numerically or quantitatively.
DataTypeCardinalityIndicates the reason that an action was not performed. Only QDM datatypes that represent actions (e.g., performed, recommended, communication, order, dispensed) allow the “negation rationale” attribute. The intent is to indicate a justification that such action did not happen as expected. This attribute specifically does not address the presence or absence of information in a clinical record (e.g., documented absence of allergies Vs lack of documentation about allergies). The syntax in the human readable HQMF is address in CQL examples and in the MAT User Guide. Prior versions of QDM used the syntax, “Procedure, Performed not done.” QDM 5.0 DRAFT uses the syntax, “Procedure, not Performed.” Note: Some datatypes include both Relevant Time and Author dateTime attributes. The purpose is to accommodate Author dateTime if the actual start and stop times are not available when evaluating for feasibility, and also to allow specification of a time for Negation Rationale.
