Stream: Covid-19 Response
Topic: Group or MeasureReport
Hans Buitendijk (Mar 24 2020 at 17:23):
As various of the expected data points of interest to COVID-19 when we go beyond bed capacity number reporting are numerator/denominator, any value to use MeasureReport for both, rather than Group for some, MeasureReport for others? What was the intent of the difference between these two to make a choice (one, the other, or whichever fits)?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Mar 24 2020 at 17:29):
Funny, I was also thinking that if we only want the numbers, well, MeasureReport would be an alternative.
I think the scope is more than the totals. I't a breakdown by type or location.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Mar 24 2020 at 17:30):
We've seen that Group is not adequate in the long term, but it's close enough

I think for roll-up counts, the MeasureReport seems like a good fit -- @Keith Boone though I expect you considered this in your design?
Hans Buitendijk (Mar 24 2020 at 18:24):
For this bed capacity use case Group looks sufficient. For others that need numerator/denominator, it will not be (unless you use multiple properties rather than the construct MeasureReport already has). MeasureReport does not require denominators, can just be a number, so seems appropriate as we are reporting on measures effectively.
Josh Mandel (Mar 24 2020 at 18:29):
Also being able to facet beds, e.g. based on availability status would be a nice bonus (rather than defining multiple instance of a Group resource per facet). That faceted reporting something MeasureReport enables directly.
Hans Buitendijk (Mar 24 2020 at 18:31):
MeasureReport is not really more complicated while with there is also increased use of MeasureReport with DEQM/Da Vinci that would make that consistency from the start appealing.
