Value Set Description from VSAC
Clinical Focus: The purpose of this value set is to represent concepts for tobacco cessation counseling.
Data Element Scope: This value set may use a model element related to Intervention.
Inclusion Criteria: Includes concepts that represent an intervention that may include referral to tobacco cessation-related services or providers, education about the benefits of stopping tobacco use, education about the negative side effects of using tobacco, and monitoring for tobacco cessation.
Exclusion Criteria: No exclusions.

QDM Datatype and Definition
"Intervention, Performed"
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.
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
