["Intervention, Performed": "Hospice Care Ambulatory"]

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

Timing:

• relevant dateTime references the time the intervention is performed when the intervention occurs at a single point in time.
• relevantPeriod references a start and stop time for an intervention that occurs over a time interval. relevantPeriod addresses:
  • startTime - The time the intervention begins.
  • stopTime - The time the intervention 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 an intervention. If a measure seeks to evaluate multiple interventions over a period of time, the measure developer should use CQL logic to represent the query request.
• 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.
