Is the assumption that the consumer will store this piece of information and then match it up with the additional data element that is needed to calculate the measure when available? How will these records be stored – and will they somehow be tagged as unfinished measure calculations to indicate the information is missing?

Existing Wording:

Preconditions and Assumptions I5:P5I5:I4:R5: The [DEQM Data-Exchange MeasureReport Profile] is used to get the data from the producer to a consumer of the data. The consumer might be a system that calculates the measure report but they could also be an aggregator who sends that data on to another system to do measure calculation and reporting. Along with Data-Exchange MeasureReport Profile, the data producer sends the Organization, Patient and any relevant resources for the measure they have produced data on. When a data producer, such as a practitioner, sends a MeasureReport bundle, they may not have all the data that is required to calculate the measure report. One example might be because the measure requires outcome data from at a later point in time during the measurement period .
