Value Set Description from VSAC
Clinical Focus: The purpose of this value set is to represent concepts for hemoglobin A1c tests.
Data Element Scope: This value set may use a model element related to Laboratory Test.
Inclusion Criteria: Includes concepts that represent tests for hemoglobin A1c.
Exclusion Criteria: Excludes concepts that represent hemoglobin A1c laboratory tests that use the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) protocol and Japanese Diabetes Society (JDS)/Japanese Society of Clinical Chemistry (JSCC) protocol and exclude concepts that represent an order only.

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.
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
