QDM Datatype and Definition
"Assessment, Performed"
Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document completion of the assessment indicated by the QDM category and its corresponding value set.
Timing:
- relevant dateTime references timing for an assessment that occurs at a single point in time.
- relevant Period references a start and stop time for an assessment that occurs over a time interval
- author dateTime references the time the action was recorded.
- Refer to the eCQM expression to determine allowable timings to meet measure criterion.
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.
eCQMs using this data element:
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 relevantPeriod.
relevantPeriod
relevantPeriod addresses the time between the start of an action to the end of an action. Each QDM datatype using relevantPeriod defines specific definitions for the start and stop time for the action listed.
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
