Stream: analytics on FHIR
Topic: KPIs - best resource for?

Hi folks. working on implementation of KPIs at the moment. Same examples: waiting time on encounter level, avg waiting time on unit level per period, door to triage time in ED per encounter.
Would resource you would recommend to reflect such in FHIR? Was thinking on Measurement, some other ideas are custom operations for encounter.
Looking forward to your ideas.

i think Measurement has this very purpose. I would decouple the KPIs from the thing they are measuring (e.g. encounter). There may be more reasons for this, but you will surely end up in measurements across resource types, so better to separate the resource(s) measured and the measurement

Yes, the Measure and MeasureReport resources are intended to support the description of some metric, and the communication of its calculation.
