StructureDefinition: ehealth-questionnaire

Introduction

A Questionnaire is a structured set of questions intended to guide the collection of answers from end-users. Questionnaires provide detailed control over order, presentation, phraseology and grouping to allow coherent, consistent data collection.

Scope and Usage

In the eHealth Infrastructure the Questionnaire resource is used in line with this. Questionnaires are built and maintained by Practitioners and presented to Patients by client applications in order to gather input and answers from Patients in the form of QuestionnaireResponse resources.

Feedback to the Patient

The Questionnaire resource supports the Question Feedback Pattern from DK QFDD questionnaires. This enables immediate feedback to the patient upon answering a question.

The feedback is pre-defined in the Questionnaire resource using the item.feedback element, so that for each item a patient feedback can be prepared. The feedback will be shown to the patient if the patient’s answer to an item lies within a given interval. The mechanism only works for questions which can be answered with a numeric value. The interval is defined by the min and a max elements of the feedback extension. If the Patient answers the item with a numeric value in the interval given by min-max then the value of the feedback extension is intended to be shown to the Patient.

Recommendation

In the recommendation element, a questionnaire can optionally hold a “degree of recommendation” intended to aid the Practitioner in deciding whether or not the Questionnaire should be applied to the Patient.
