QDM Categories with ONC Health Information Technology Standards Committee (HITSC) Recommended Code Systems Vocabularies Table
QUALITY DATA MODEL (QDM) CATEGORIES WITH RECOMMENDED CODE SYSTEMS
The Quality Data Model (QDM) Categories with the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) Health Information Technology Standards Committee (HITSC) Recommended Code Systems table provides guidance for the use of a recommended code system when there is a requirement for a noted clinical concept for an electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM). The table includes general guidance for concepts in any quality measure as well as native code systems, where specified. The code system guidance indicates specific code system hierarchies, semantic types, or expected concept (code) attributes that characterize the concepts used for that specific QDM category.
