QDM defines Diagnostic Study as any kind of medical test performed as a specific test or series of steps to aid in diagnosing or detecting disease (e.g., to establish a diagnosis, measure the progress or recovery from disease, confirm that a person is free from disease).  The QDM defines diagnostic studies as those that are not performed in organizations that perform testing on samples of human blood, tissue, or other substance from the body. Diagnostic studies may make use of digital images and textual reports. Such studies include but are not limited to imaging studies, cardiology studies (electrocardiogram, treadmill stress testing), pulmonary-function testing, vascular laboratory testing, and others. QDM defines three contexts for Diagnostic Study: Diagnostic Study, Order; Diagnostic Study, Performed; and Diagnostic Study, Recommended. Note that QI Core maps for imaging type diagnostic studies are mapped to DiagnosticReport; QI Core maps for non-imaging type diagnostic studies are mapped to Observation.

QDM defines Diagnostic Study as any kind of medical test performed as a specific test or series of steps to aid in diagnosing or detecting disease (e.g., to establish a diagnosis, measure the progress or recovery from disease, confirm that a person is free from disease). The QDM defines diagnostic studies as those that are not performed in organizations that perform testing on samples of human blood, tissue, or other substance from the body. Diagnostic studies may make use of digital images and textual reports. Such studies include but are not limited to imaging studies, cardiology studies (electrocardiogram, treadmill stress testing), pulmonary-function testing, vascular laboratory testing, and others. QDM defines three contexts for Diagnostic Study: Diagnostic Study, Order; Diagnostic Study, Performed; and Diagnostic Study, Recommended. Note that QI Core maps for imaging type diagnostic studies are mapped to DiagnosticReport; QI Core maps for non-imaging type diagnostic studies are mapped to Observation.

Diagnostic Study, Order

QDM Attribute QI Core Metadata Element Comment
Diagnostic Study, Order ProcedureRequest.intent Procedure Request intent uses the concepts proposal, plan, order, original-order, reflex-order, filler-order, instance-order, option. Constrain to "order" from the intent value set for QDM datatypes with the order context.
Method This item is not found in QI Core. In most instances, quality measure developers address procedure methods by using specific, pre-coordinated terminology (e.g., specific LOINC codes indicating the test and the method)
Negation Rationale ProcedureRequest.extension (http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/procedurerequest-reasonRefused) QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Reason ProcedureRequest.reasonCode, Use http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/qicore-procedurerequest-appropriatenessScore.html to address RAND criteria for appropriate imaging usage criteria. QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Author dateTime ProcedureRequest.AuthoredOn QDM matched to QI Core/FHIR. Note - ProcedureRequest.occurrence(x) defines a dateTime when the event should occur - not addressed in QDM
Code ProcedureRequest.code See also, Observation.category
id ProcedureRequest.id QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Source ProcedureRequest.requester Author, orderer - note also, ProcedureRequest.requester.agent for device, practitioner or organization who initiated the request; or ProcedureRequest.requester.onBehalfOf - the organization on whose behalf the device or practitioner was acting

Diagnostic Study, Recommended

QDM Attribute QI Core Metadata Element Comment
Diagnostic Study, Recommended ProcedureRequest.intent Procedure Request intent uses the concepts proposal, plan, order, original-order, reflex-order, filler-order, instance-order, option. "Proposal" is most consistent with the ProcedureRequest when applied to clinical decision support (CDS) in which the CDS proposes an action to a provider or to a patient. The QDM concept Recommended addresses expectations a provider gives to a patient. Such recommendations are most consistent with the ProcedureRequest.intent value of "plan" (an intension to ensure something occurs without providing an authorization to act).
Method This item is not found in QI Core. In most instances, quality measure developers address procedure methods by using specific, pre-coordinated terminology (e.g., specific LOINC codes indicating the test and the method)
Negation Rationale ProcedureRequest.extension (http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/procedurerequest-reasonRefused) QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR

Diagnostic Study, Performed (Imaging Studies)

QDM Attribute QI Core Metadata Element Comment
Diagnostic Study, Performed (Specific to Imaging Studies) DiagnosticReport (the .status metadata allows conformance to the specific QDM datatype context) QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR. Quality measures and CDS artifacts may need to address which status is desired: Partial, preliminary, final, amended, corrected, appended. Most quality measures will address final, amended, corrected, appended.
FacilityLocation DiagnosticReport.extension (diagnosticReport-locationPerformed) QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Method This item is not found in QI Core. In most instances, quality measure developers address procedure methods by using specific, pre-coordinated terminology (e.g., specific LOINC codes indicating the test and the method)
Negation Rationale None FHIR DiagnosticReport does not address negation since there would be no report. QDM usage to indicate studies that have not been done should address negation rationale for the order or the recommendation (i.e., ProcedureRequest.extension (reasonRefused).
Reason None FHIR DiagnosticReport does not address reason since reason is a function of the order or recommendation. QDM reference to indicate the reason for imaging studies should reference qicore-procedurerequest-appropriatenessScore.
Result DiagnosticReport.result Note - QI Core also includes Observation.interpretation and Observation.comment - eCQMs have addressed interpretation as an implementation issue. Perhaps that approach should be reconsidered.
Result dateTime DiagnosticReport.issued QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Relevant Period DiagnosticReport.effective(x) QDM addresses a Period; QI Core allows an effective time. Consider addressing the difference.
Status DiagnosticReport.status QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Code DiagnosticReport.code Note - QI Core includes DiagnosticReport.specimen - eCQMs use the LOINC value set to determine the specimen source
Author dateTime FHIR.provenance.recorded FHIR references authorDatetime as part of the provenance resource for all resources. Is author dateTime still appropriate for this QDM datatype?
Components Components for imaging studies not addressed in QI Core
Component Code Component code for imaging studies is not addressed in QI Core
Component Result Component result for imaging studies is not addressed in QI Core
id DiagnosticReport.id QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Source DiagnosticReport.performer Source is addressed by either DiagnosticReport.performer or Observation.device

Diagnostic Study, Performed (Non-Imaging Studies)

QDM Attribute QI Core Metadata Element Comment
Diagnostic Study, Performed (Specific to Non-Imaging Studies) Observation (the .status metadata allows conformance to the specific QDM datatype context) QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR. Quality measures and CDS artifacts may need to address which status is desired: Partial, preliminary, final, amended, corrected, appended. Most quality measures will address final, amended, corrected, appended.
FacilityLocation DiagnosticReport.extension (diagnosticReport-locationPerformed) QI Core observation does not specify a facility location. FHIR provenance may provider guidance.
Method Observaton.method QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Negation Rationale Observation.dataAbsentReason The value set is required. Many eCQMs use a measure developer-specific value set. Note, component also has a Observation.component.dataAbsentReason in QI Core.
Reason Observaton.basedOn This is the best fit in QI Core
Result Observation.value(x) Note - QI Core also includes Observation.interpretation and Observation.comment - eCQMs have addressed interpretation as an implementation issue. Perhaps that approach should be reconsidered.
Result dateTime Observation.issued QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Relevant Period Observation.effective[x] QDM addresses a Period; QI Core allows an effective time. Consider addressing the difference.
Status Observation.status QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Code Observation.code Note - QI Core includes Observation.specimen - eCQMs use the LOINC value set to determine the specimen source
Author dateTime part of FHIR Provenance Resource FHIR references authorDatetime as part of the provenance resource for all resources. Is author dateTime still appropriate for this QDM datatype?
Components Observation.component QDM uses components to combine related observations to each other, e.g., a set of independent observations performed within an admission assessment for an inpatient admission. Each observation is unique (e.g., questions about tobacco usage, other substance usage, blood pressure, pulse, skin turgor, etc., etc.) but they are captured during the same patient-provider interaction. Such QDM components should map directly to QI Core / FHIR observations that can be linked to other observations. Other QDM component examples include multiple questions that are part of a validated evaluation tool (e.g., a Braden skin assessment scale). This latter example indicates individual questions that are inherently tied to the Braden scale instrument and the questions and answers do not have inherent value without being part of the instrument. QI Core / FHIR considers each such question as an Observation.component. A general rule of thumb is QI Core / FHIR components apply only when the inherent value of the observation is defined by the parent observation. The result is that the content will determine if a QDM component maps to Observation.code or to Observation.component.code.
Component Code Observation.component.code See "component" - content-specific
Component Result Observation.component.value(x) See "component" - content-specific
id Observation.id QDM matched to QI Core / FHIR
Source Observation.performer Source is addressed by either Observation.performer or Observation.device
