QI-Core – Quality Improvement Core

Receive updates on this topic

QI-Core offers a variety of tools and resources that facilitate the implementation and understanding of quality improvement standards in health care systems. The following resources can help you better understand the standard and how to implement it:

QI-Core Implementation Guide

The QI-Core Implementation Guide provides the FHIR-based clinical data model used for digital quality measures (dQMs) and clinical decision support (CDS). Built on US-Core IG, QI-Core defines profiles that constrain FHIR resources to support consistent representation of clinical data used in quality measurement, dQM development, and CDS authoring. The aim for QI-Core is to replace the Quality Data Model (QDM) as the data model for dQMs.

GitHub Repository

The source code and documentation for QI-Core profiles are available on the QI-Core GitHub repository.

FHIR Package Registry

The QI-Core Implementation Guide is listed on the FHIR Package Registry, where you can find the necessary profiles and extensions that guide the implementation of quality-focused applications. Explore the FHIR Package Registry.
