      Since QI-Core CarePlan builds off of US Core and the QI-Core 4.1.1 aligns well with all of the Must Support elements in US Core 3.1.1 and US Core 5.0.0 (which had no changes). The Differential section of QI-Core CarePlan only lists Patient because it references QI-Core Patient rather than US Core Patient. Otherwise, there is no difference from US Core. The Must Support tab shows all of the items that QI-Core considers as Must Support and those are the same as US Core.

    Description

      We noted that all that is required in a QI Core Profile of a Care Plan is QI Core Patient, status, intent, and category.  How will Quality use this to link to a specific measure?  Is it thought that there would be further profiling for example to require specific elements like "addresses" that would match to the quality measure.

      It would be useful to have an example of how Care Plan would be used in a Quality Measure especially since it does not directly align with specific QDM elements.
