Library of NHSN dQM ACH Monthly Initial Population Measure

Library of NHSN ACH Daily Initial Population Measure

A library used to remove data elements from FHIR resources that are deemed unnecessary and/or unwanted by NHSN.

This library is a collection of commonly used functions from various third party libraries and other created functions for use within the NHSN Measures.

This library defines functions to convert between FHIR data types and CQL system-defined types, as well as functions to support FHIRPath implementation. For more information, the FHIRHelpers wiki page: https://github.com/cqframework/clinical_quality_language/wiki/FHIRHelpers

This extension stores the date and time a Resource was received by the processing system (e.g. NHSNLink).

An extension used to indicate the reporting period associated with the patients of interest List.

This extension stores the original {Resource}.id of a source that was modified by a processing system (e.g. NHSNLink) to make it usable for NHSN when the original did not meet FHIR-standard requirements. Resource IDs that are more than 64 characters long are not valid per the FHIR specification and must be modified.

This extension stores the original value of an element from a source that was modified by a processing system (e.g., NHSNLink) to make it usable for NHSN. Modification may include changing logically invalid data, changing data that does not match specification requirements (this modification is used sparingly, for specific instances only), or normalizing data.

This extension stores an original Concept that was mapped during processing.
