Category	Question	Session # and Date
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	When using Clinical Quality Language (CQL) with Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR), FHIR has some things called Extensions and Slices. What’s the difference between them? In which scenario should we use them?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	For the current Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) resource version, implementers created an extension due to some missing information that was required for Quality Improvement Core (QI-Core). For the next FHIR version, will this extension be replaced by a formal element?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Regarding Slices in Quality Improvement Core (QI-Core) version 4.0.0, how do you get the blood pressure profile in the example? Is it using the name or the code? Because it is not really defined with the condition we are going to follow. Right?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Where can I find the using statement that references Quality Improvement Core (QI-Core) 4.0.0?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Is the Quality Information and Clinical Knowledge (QUICK) data model Extensible Markup Language (XML) using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Helpers?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Does the Quality Improvement Core (QI-Core) model info 4.0.0 Extensible Markup Language (XML) use Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Helpers?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Which model should measure developers use while coding within Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Over the last year, there have been changes to CQL. Is the version of CQL that was used to build the Expression Logical Model (ELM) available?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Once Quality Improvement Core (QI-Core) becomes stable, will HL7 publish an update to include the new model information and replace the Quality Information and Clinical Knowledge (QUICK) model tab?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	In regard to Slices in Quality Improvement Core (QI-Core), where do you find the naming to define a new QI-Core profile more directly? How do you define values that you need to put in? For example, how is the “observation-bp” defined and applied?	43 - 4/23/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Can you provide some resources for using Clinical Quality Language (CQL) in Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)?	42 - 2/27/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	In the example on AllergyIntolerance, why are some Quality Improvement (QI)-Core Patterns, such as "allergy-active" and "allergy-confirmed," represented in the Global Common Library? (the rest of the question is in the answer)	42 - 2/27/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Regarding the measure Device Indicating Frailty, when considering Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)-based Clinical Quality Language (CQL) Quality Improvement (QI)-Core Patterns within the DeviceRequest.intent comparison, is there a way to ask whether the code is "like "%order"", similar to the what is supported by some database query languages? (the rest of the question is in the answer)	42 - 2/27/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Based on EXM130 – consider the Procedure.performed element - In the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Standard for Trial Use (STU) 3, it is defined as a choice of dateTime|Period and in R4, it is defined as a choice of dateTime|Period|string|Age|Range where the Quality Improvement (QI) Core constrains out the "string" type. It's a great idea to have a "Normalize Interval" function in the global library, but will you have one function, "Normalize Interval" function, that contains the flexible arguments in the parameter or will you have multiple ones depending on the FHIR resource? How many choice data type elements will the resource have?	41 - 1/16/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Based on the EXM130 expression below, can you explain the "Message" function and each component of it?	41 - 1/16/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Based on the EXM130 expression below, why does the message only happen to the timing, instance, and string? Does it not apply for all resources?	41 - 1/16/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	In the EXM130 expression below, would it be better to move the FHIR.Timing and the FHIR.string to the bottom of the list if one were to prioritize the list?	41 - 1/16/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	The measure EXM135 is an example of ConditionOnsetAbatementPrevalencePeriod where we determine the Onset/Abatement and Prevalence Period for a condition. This makes sense for Pregnancy, but could you also use the procedure "Delivery" to say that it ended?	41 - 1/16/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	For the measure EXM135, is there a reason you exclude the timepoint of the abatement time by using parentheses ")" instead of brackets "]"?	41 - 1/16/20
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	From a performance perspective of a Quality Data Model (QDM) approach vs. a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) approach, you might be able to have a pretty efficient database access with QDM. With the FHIR measure doing one patient at time, you"re going to be making a lot of FHIR application programming interface (API) calls. One option might be to use a FHIR bulk export, which would return a large Newline-Delimited JavaScript Object Notation (ND JSON) file (the file format used for bulk data transfer in FHIR), that might be a way to get a lot of information at one time. Is there some thought to using a bulk concept to frontload the data?	39 - 10/24/19
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	Once the Quality Improvement (QI)-Core QUICK model is fully mature and supported, will that be the expected mechanism to write a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)-based measure?	39 - 10/24/19
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	In the draft of the Exclusive Breast Milk Feeding Measure - PC-05 (snippet from EXM9_FHIR4 version 8.1.000), there are some specific changes on how to represent some of the concepts used in this measure within Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). Specifically, there are some changes around representation of total parenteral nutrition and nutrition intake resource that are planned for R5. When looking at a single newborn with no parenteral nutrition given, generally does status matter if it"s a negation?	39 - 10/24/19
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	With the Exclusive Breast Milk Feeding Measure - PC-05 (snippet from EXM9_FHIR4 version 8.1.001), currently Breast Milk is a value set with a substance code. In order to use the Procedure resource, can we create a new value set containing all the Procedure codes for Breast Milk? If we have that value set, can we just say procedure breast milk?	39 - 10/24/19
Using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)	How would some of the most commonly used datatypes in Quality Data Model (QDM) be expressed in a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR)-based measure?	37 - 7/25/19
