rank

A QDM attribute provides specific detail about a QDM datatype.

Performance/Reporting Period
2025
QDM Datatype (QDM Version 5.6):

rank defines a position in a hierarchy for diagnoses or procedures. It replaces ordinality previously assigned to "Procedure, Performed", "Procedure, Order", and "Procedure, Recommended". ordinality does not align with any FHIR resources; it does align with definitions for FHIR encounter.diagnosis. Thus, the concept fits best consistently across QDM for the concept of principal for encounter diagnosis and for procedure.

Used By:
"Procedure, Order"
"Procedure, Performed"
"Procedure, Recommended"
["Procedure, Performed": "General Surgery"]
["Procedure, Performed": "Gynecological Surgery"]
["Procedure, Performed": "Hip Fracture Surgery"]
["Procedure, Performed": "Hip Replacement Surgery"]
["Procedure, Performed": "Intracranial Neurosurgery"]
["Procedure, Performed": "Knee Replacement Surgery"]
["Procedure, Performed": "Urological Surgery"]
