"Provider Care Experience"
Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype indicate the provider's experience with the availability of resources (e.g., scheduling, equipment, space, and such consumables as medications). "Provider care experience" gauges provider satisfaction with key structures, processes, and outcomes in the healthcare delivery system.
Timing: The time the care experience is recorded; author dateTime.
Care Experience
authorDateTime
The time the data element was entered into the clinical software. Note, some datatypes include both relevant dateTime and author dateTime attributes. When both are present, author dateTime is included to accommodate negation rationale.
The author dateTime addresses when an activity is documented. Documentation can occur at the beginning, during, at the end, or subsequent to the end of the activity. The author dateTime should be used only if the relevantPeriod cannot be obtained or to represent the time negation rationale is documented.
Note: 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.
