["Laboratory Test, Performed": "Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Laboratory Test Codes (Ab and Ag)"]
Performance/Reporting Period
2022
Value Set Description from VSAC
Clinical Focus: The purpose of this value set is to represent concepts for laboratory tests used for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) screening.
Data Element Scope: This value set may use a model element related to Laboratory Test.
Inclusion Criteria: Includes concepts that represent a laboratory test for HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies or antigens.
Exclusion Criteria: Excludes concepts that represent tests and procedures that might be associated with HIV infection but not used for screening or testing to establish an HIV diagnosis such as home/self HIV testing, HIV genotyping tests, HIV RNA tests, HIV cultures, clinical codes used to document care provided to HIV-infected patients.

QDM Datatype and Definition
"Laboratory Test, Performed"
Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document the laboratory test indicated by the QDM category and its corresponding value set was performed.
Timing:
- relevant dateTime references the time the laboratory test is performed when the laboratory test occurs at a single point in time.
- relevantPeriod references a start and stop time for a laboratory test that occurs over a time interval. relevantPeriod addresses:
- startTime - The time the laboratory test begins.
- stopTime - The time the laboratory test ends.
- author dateTime references the time the action was recorded.
- Refer to the eCQM expression to determine allowable timings to meet measure criterion.
Examples:
- Initiation of a venipuncture for a fasting blood glucose to the time venipuncture for the fasting blood glucose is completed – use relevant dateTime to reference this single point in time for many specimen collections
- Initiation of a 24-hour urine collection for measured creatinine clearance until completion of the 24-hour urine collection – use relevantPeriod to reference the start to stop time for this event.
Notes:
- The time that the result report is available is a separate attribute than the time of the study (specimen collection).
- 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.
QDM Attributes
relevantDateTime
Relevant dateTime addresses the time an activity occurs as a single point in time. If the activity occurs over a period of time, use Relevant Period.
