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.

Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document a request to a pharmacy to provide the medication indicated by the QDM category and its corresponding value set.

Timing:

  • relevantPeriod addresses the time referenced in the dosage instruction indicating when the medication administration should start and end.
  • author dateTime references the date and time the medication order (prescription) is authored.

Notes:

  • The medication order (prescription) is unlikely to indicate a relevantPeriod, the time period for which the ordered supply is to be administered/taken including all refills. Therefore, to determine the number of days covered by a single dispensing event, use the daysSupplied attribute and the relevant dateTime of the event to determine when the ordered medication will run out. If daysSupplied is not available, derive it from the supply (quantity of medication ordered) divided by the dosage (amount of medication to be taken at a single administration) times the frequency (number of units per time period – e.g., per day):
    daysSupplied = supply / (dosage x frequency)
    And multiply the daysSupplied per dispensing event multiplied by one plus the number of refills to determine the total daysSupplied ordered.
    daysSupplied x (1 + #refills)
    Starting with the relevant dateTime add the total daysSupplied (including refills) to determine when the ordered medication quantity will run out.

QDM Datatype and Definition

"Procedure, Performed"

Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document the completion of the procedure indicated by the QDM category and its corresponding value set.

Timing:

  • relevant dateTime references the time the procedure is performed when the procedure occurs at a single point in time.
  • relevantPeriod references a start and stop time for a procedure that occurs over a time interval. relevantPeriod addresses:
    • startTime - The time the procedure begins.
    • stopTime - The time the procedure 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 a procedure. If a measure seeks to evaluate multiple procedures over a period of time, the measure developer should use CQL logic to represent the query request.
  • The incision dateTime is a single point in time available from the Operating Room and/or Anesthesia Record.
  • 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.
  • See section 6.4 for guidance about differentiating between successful and unsuccessful procedures.
Value Set Description from VSAC
Clinical Focus: The purpose of this value set is to represent concepts for unilateral oophorectomy of the left ovary.
Data Element Scope: This value set may use a model element related to Procedure.
Inclusion Criteria: Includes concepts that represent a procedure for a unilateral oophorectomy of the left ovary.
Exclusion Criteria: Excludes concepts that represent procedures for right or bilateral, or unspecified mastectomy.
