2026 US Quality Core Implementation Guide
0.5.0 - release United States of America flag

This page is part of the US Quality Core (v0.5.0: Release) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: US Quality Core MedicationAdministration

Official URL: http://fhir.org/guides/onc/us-quality-core/StructureDefinition/us-quality-core-medicationadministration Version: 0.5.0
Draft as of 2026-06-05 Computable Name: USQualityCoreMedicationAdministration

Profile of MedicationAdministration for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

USCDI+ Quality Element Support Expectations

Systems are expected to support this profile as part of implementing USCDI+ Quality V1 in FHIR and meeting the conformance requirements of this guide.

The following elements are specifically relevant to USCDI+ Quality V1 data classes and elements. Systems are expected to support these elements as applicable to their role in US Quality Core data exchange. See the Must Support section of this guide for more information. These elements are tagged as (USCDI+ Quality) in the formal profile views.

USCDI+ Quality Elements:

  • status: (USCDI+ Quality) in-progress | on-hold | completed | entered-in-error | stopped | unknown
  • medication[x]: (USCDI+ Quality) What was administered
  • effective[x]: (USCDI+ Quality) Start and end time of administration
  • dosage: (USCDI+ Quality)
  • dosage.route: (USCDI+ Quality) Path of substance into body
  • dosage.dose: (USCDI+ Quality) Amount of medication per dose

The Formal Views section also provides the formal summary, definitions, terminology requirements, and mandatory element requirements.

Profile Specific Implementation Guidance

To represent that a medication administration intentionally did not occur for a medical, patient, or system reason, use the US Quality Core MedicationAdministration Not Done profile.

Additional informational guidance for authoring CQL using this profile is provided in the CQL Authoring Usage (Informational) section of this page.

Notes:

CQL Authoring Usage (Informational)

To create an expression specifically requesting information that a MedicationAdministration intentionally did not occur for a medical, patient or system reason, use the profile USQualityCore MedicationAdministration Not Done.

The following example illustrates accessing MedicationAdministration data:

define "Low Dose Unfractionated Heparin Administration":
  ["MedicationAdministration": medication in "Low Dose Unfractionated Heparin for VTE Prophylaxis"] VTEMedication
    where VTEMedication.status = 'completed'
