Allow the specification of Quality #, Quality Domain, and Meaningful Measure Area as attributes of the appearance of a measure in a quality program.
Requires two extensions:
cqfm-programIdentifier 0..* Identifier An identifier for the measure within a quality program
cqfm-qualityDomain 0..1 CodeableConcept The quality domain for a measure within a quality program
cqfm-meaningfulMeasureArea 0..1 CodeableConcept The meaningful measure area for a measure within a quality program.
Note that although this information could (and sometimes would) be specified as useContext elements within the measure itself, these are really attributes of the appearance of a measure within a quality program (i.e. the same measure may be assigned different quality domain and meaningful measure areas in different quality programs). In addition, the timing is different, in that the assignment of a particular measure to a quality domain or meaningful measure area within a quality program happens after the measure is already finalized and released as part of an annual update.
