Description
The real issue may not be in scope for this ballot, but the use of a FHIR-specific code system and value set for Measure.type should not occur. Instead the same value set, ObservationMeasureType that is used in HQMF measures should be used in the FHIR representation. Any changes needed to support this can be done via a UTG proposal to add needed concepts to the ObservationValue V3 code system under the _ObservationMeasureType concept. This includes any additional display values for new and existing concepts. To support this I suggest making a new version of the existing extensible bound MeasureType value set that removes all codes so that overlapping codes in the new profile can be used.
