Description
In the STU3 Measure and MeasureReport, the population, stratifier, and supplementalData elements all had identifiers that were used to coordinate the results between a Measure and MeasureReport (since code is not guaranteed to be unique, even within a population group).
In R4, this element was removed in favor of using the existing "id" element to provide that capability. However, because the guidance about the use of identifiers was part of the identifier element, it was not preserved in the change and hasn't been specified anywhere.
So, provide guidance about the use of "id"s to correlate results between a Measure and MeasureReport.
