Glossary

A Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) profile is a set of requirements and constraints placed on a resource. It can describe general features the system supports for that resource or information handled or produced according to a specific use case. Often, they include rules about which application programming interface features, terminologies, or resource elements the FHIR profile uses or does not use.

The feasibility criterion assesses the extent to which the specifications, including measure logic, require readily available data or could be captured without undue burden and can be implemented for performance measurement. 

Future state is a model integrating the downstream work of informatics, implementation, communication, and evaluation into the guideline or measure development process.
