      MADiE Measure exports have a Measure resource that tries to add direct reference codes (DRC) to the relatedArtifact array.

      MADiE puts the code in the relatedArtifact.id, and the relatedArtifact.url has the code system URL, e.g.,

       

      { "id": "active", "display": "allergy-active", "url": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/allergyintolerance-clinical" }
      ,...
      { "id": "active", "display": "active", "url": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/condition-clinical" }
      

       

      This may cause duplicate "id", or "id" with invalid characters, but also is not the correct way to add DRCs.

      http://hl7.org/fhir/us/cqfmeasures/STU3/StructureDefinition-cqfm-directReferenceCode.html is an extension intended for DRC.
      As the examples associated with the extension link above show, the Measure.contained has a Library resource

       "contained": [
          {
            "resourceType": "Library",
            "id": "effective-data-requirements",
            "extension": [
              {
                "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/us/cqfmeasures/StructureDefinition/cqfm-directReferenceCode",
                "valueCoding": {
                  "system": "http://snomed.info/sct",
                  "version": "http://snomed.info/sct/731000124108/version/201709",
                  "code": "428361000124107",
                  "display": "Discharge to home for hospice care (procedure)"
                }
              },...
      

      referenced from Measure.extension:

      {
            "id": "effective-data-requirements",
            "url": "http://hl7.org/fhir/us/cqfmeasures/StructureDefinition/cqfm-effectiveDataRequirements",
            "valueReference": {
              "reference": "#effective-data-requirements"
            }
          }
      

      CMS104 and CMS1074 use the cqfm-directReferenceCode for some DRC, but other measures do not use that extension at all. All measures that I examined have the problematic relatedArtifact method of documenting DRC.
