The context of a measure is indicated using the subject element of the FHIR resource. The subject element will be a reference to a FHIR resource type, specifically including Patient, Location, Organization, Practitioner, and Device as currently specified in the extensible SubjectType binding. It is important to note that other resource types may be used, but it must be a FHIR resource type. We should also note that although the discussion is focused on Patient as the subject, the discussion applies to other subject types as well.

In addition to the measure scoring, measures generally fall into two categories, patient-based, and non-patient-based (e.g. encounter-based). In general, patient-based measures count the number of patients in each population, while non-patient-based measures count the number of items (such as encounters) in each population. Although the calculation formulas are conceptually the same for both categories, for ease of expression, population criteria for patient-based measures indicates whether a patient matches the population criteria (true) or not (false). Non-patient-based measures return the item to be counted such as an encounter or procedure.

In Table 3-2, the first measure is an example of a patient-based measure. Each patient may contribute at most one count to the denominator and numerator, regardless of how many encounters they had. The second measure is an episode-of-care measure where each patient may contribute zero or more encounters to the denominator and numerator counts.

For complete examples of patient-based proportion measures, see the Screening Measure [Examples](examples.html). For a complete example of an encounter-based proportion measure, see the [EXM108](Measure-EXM108-FHIR.html) measure included in this implementation guide.

  1. do not change "patient-based" to "non-patient based"
  2. The resolution says "Throughout QMs section, change all instances of 'episode-of-care' or 'encounter-based' to 'non-patient based'
  • To apply the changes according to this resolution, it needs to search the entire "measure-conformance.md" file and change all instances of "episode-of-care" based measures and "encounter-based" measures to "non-patient based" measures.
