      Although we agree that "evaluate" implies an evaluation of a subject, it's possible for that subject to be a "provider" or "organization". Instead of using "evaluate the subject", we will change the descriptions to say:

      The MeasureReport resource contains the report generated by calculation of a measure as well as the resources involved in that calculation.

      For MeasureReport.measure:

      The measure that was calculated

    Description

      Various elements in the description describe this resource as containing the results of evaluating a measure. As best I can tell the resource is actually used to descibe the results of evaluating a patient or other subject using a measure.

      In addition, the definition says "A reference to the Measure that was evaluated to produce this report." The contents of the resource, however, seem to much more than just a reference to the measure. They include the information generated by applying the measure to a subject.

      Suggested changes include:

      Short name

      Results of a measure evaluation

      Definition

      The MeasureReport resource contains the results of evaluating a measure.

      MeasureReport.measure

      Short name: Measure used to evaluat a subject. that was evaluated

      Definition

      A reference to the Measure that was evaluated to produce this report. The information generated by applying the measure to a subject.
