      We should be able to hit this use case with an Organization to hold the APM entity identifier and PractitionerRole resources to support the linkage to the Organization and the Practitioners for the TINs.

      Given that, there would be no need for either Group or for the additionalReporter extension proposed here. We should put together a specific example that illustrates this case, but that example should be in the DEQM IG, and there is no need for the change proposed in this ticket. (DEQM ticket submitted: https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-40722)

      Also, the change proposed in this ticket: https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-23926 was reopened and found not persuasive to remove the Group resource as an option for the reporter element.

    Description

      The Data Exchange for Quality Measures IG introduced an extension to MeasureReport to allow a Group to be used as the reporter. This extension was incorporated as an allowed type on MeasureReport.reporter, but this was done in conflict with previous guidance that the Group should not be allowed to be a target of the reporter element, since Groups cannot act or take responsibility.

      Propose to remove the Group as an allowable type and add an extension additionalReporter referencing Practitioner, PractitionerRole, Organization, applicable any number of times to the MeasureReport.reporter element.
