Data Elements contained within the Union

["Diagnosis": "Atherosclerosis and Peripheral Arterial Disease"]

Value Set Description from VSAC
Clinical Focus: This value set contains concepts that represent a diagnosis, condition, or disorder of atherosclerosis or peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
Data Element Scope: This value set may use the Quality Data Model (QDM) category or attribute related to Diagnosis.
Inclusion Criteria: Includes only relevant concepts associated with conditions that indicate arterial blood flow is restricted putting patients at higher risk for heart disease.
Exclusion Criteria: No exclusions.

Constrained to codes in the Diagnosis: Atherosclerosis and Peripheral Arterial Disease value set (2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1047.21)

QDM Datatype and Definition

"Diagnosis"

Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document the Condition/Diagnosis/Problem and its corresponding value set. The onset dateTime corresponds to the implicit start dateTime of the datatype and the abatement dateTime corresponds to the implicit stop dateTime of the datatype. If the abatement dateTime is not present, then the diagnosis is considered to still be active. When this datatype is used with timing relationships, the criterion is looking for an active diagnosis for the time frame indicated by the timing relationships.

Timing: The prevalencePeriod references the time from the onset date to the abatement date.

["Procedure, Performed": "CABG Surgeries"]

Value Set Description from VSAC
Clinical Focus: This value set grouping contains concepts that represent coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgical procedures.
Data Element Scope: This value set may use the Quality Data Model (QDM) category related to Procedure. The intent of this data element is to identify patients who have a CABG surgical procedure.
Inclusion Criteria: Includes only relevant concepts associated with CABG surgical procedures. This is a grouping of SNOMED CT, ICD-9-CM, and ICD-10-CM codes.
Exclusion Criteria: Excludes codes that represent a CABG performed using a scope.

QDM Datatype and Definition

"Procedure, Performed"

Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document the completion of the procedure indicated by the QDM category and its corresponding value set.

Two QDM Known Issues has been identified related to this datatype.

  • To see the QDM Known Issue related to QDM Procedure, Performed completion time, please click here.
  • To see the QDM Known Issue related to Differentiating Elective Vs Emergent or Urgent Procedures, please click here.

Timing:

  • relevant dateTime references the time the procedure is performed when the procedure occurs at a single point in time.
  • relevantPeriod references a start and stop time for a procedure that occurs over a time interval. relevantPeriod addresses:
    • startTime - The time the procedure begins.
    • stopTime - The time the procedure ends.
  • author dateTime references the time the action was recorded.
  • Refer to the eCQM expression to determine allowable timings to meet measure criterion.

Notes:

  • Timing refers to a single instance of a procedure. If a measure seeks to evaluate multiple procedures over a period of time, the measure developer should use CQL logic to represent the query request.
  • The incision dateTime is a single point in time available from the Operating Room and/or Anesthesia Record.
  • negation rationale indicates a one-time documentation of a reason an activity is not performed. Negation of QDM datatype-related actions for a reason always use the author dateTime attribute to reference timing and must not use relevantPeriod.
  • For clarification, see Appendix 6.6 with 2020 guidance about differentiating between successful and unsuccessful procedures.
