Description | The scope of this project is to identify and align information models used for Health Quality. To do so, this project will be carried out over phases that roughly align to the components of the SAIF Interoperability Specification Matrix - this project will be scoped to phase 1 of the following phases: 1. Conceptual Information Model - The first phase of this project, initiated with the January 2014 ballot cycle, is producing a Health Quality Domain Analysis Model. 2. Logical Information Model and FHIR mapping - The second phase of this project will create a logical information model. The scope of this project does not include changes to what is commonly referred to as 'expression logic', which are products that fall within the Behavioral Models column of the SAIF Interoperability Specification Matrix. This work will be addressed by the Expression Logic Harmonization Project Scope Statement. This project will also not include work related to aligning the metadata used for Quality Improvement, which will be addressed in the Common Metadata Project Scope Statement. Original PSS: It is anticipated that this Project Scope Statement will be updated as the project progresses and presented to appropriate HL7 governing bodies for review and approval. Jan 2014 Updated PSS submitted: This project scope statement updates an earlier statement that was scoped for creating only the conceptual information model. See the PSS Word document for complete details of the project scope. May 2014: submitted the PSS' to cover Phase 2 work. Created the following projects for that work: CQI Harmonization of Health Quality Information - FHIR Resources - Project 1125 CQI Harmonization of Health Quality Information - Logical Model - Project 1127 |

Project Need | This project is part of a broader effort to align the HL7 Product Family related to Health Quality using the Interoperability Specification Matrix of the HL7 Services Aware Interoperability Framework as a guiding framework. The expression of clinically relevant information for use in quality measurement and clinical decision support has historically been viewed from different perspectives, based on the different specific needs of each domain. However, the existing artifacts provide significantly different approaches to representation of what are essentially the same underlying concepts. This project seeks to identify and align the information models used for quality measurement, reporting and clinical decision support. |

Misc Notes | Dec 2015: B. Rhodes/F. Eisenberg: This project can be closed. It has been superseded by several other projects, in particular 1125 (QI-Core Profiles, the one we’re trying to update), and 1127 (QUICK Logical Model, currently in development in conjunction with the CIMI Work Group). Mar 2015: Unarchived project due to DSTU balloting of HL7 Logical Model: Quality Improvement and Clinical Knowledge (QUICK), Release 1 - US Realm Nov 2014: TSC approved the Informative Publication Request for HL7 Domain Analysis Model: Health Quality Improvement, Release 1 at TSC Tracker 3711. PMO archiving project. May 2014: Updated PSS submitted to - Develop a common logical model for clinical decision support and clinical quality measurement - Develop FHIR artifacts needed for clinical quality measurement and clinical decision support Created the following projects for that work: CQI Harmonization of Health Quality Information - FHIR Resources - Project 1125 CQI Harmonization of Health Quality Information - Logical Model - Project 1127 Jan 2014: Updated PSS submitted. Dec 2013: The US Realm Task Force has recommended a reduction in scope of the 'Harmonization of Health Quality Information Models' project. The recommendation is to focus the project only on the development a DAM (phase 1 of the proposed project). The PSS also describes additional phases whose approval at this point are premature. The project co-leads joined the task force call this afternoon and agreed to the suggested scope revision. In fact, they thought that was what they were actually requesting in the first place.
