      Can you please clarify how the Health Record Field can be used? We have used it to date to indicate that the needed information must be found in the radiologists' final reports by indicating the Health Record Field is assigned to a value set for "Final Report/Provider to Provider Communication" which is necessary for appropriate communication between providers/systems to reduce unnecessary imaging studies.

      We were told on a CMS eCQM call today that the data flow "Health Record Field" does NOT indicate where the data should be found in the EHR. However documentation provided on the eCQI Resource page included:
      "Data flow attributes - Provides specific detail about the location of data represented by a QDM element e.g., Health Record Field indicates the location within an electronic record where the data should be found, Source indicates the originator of the quality data element (an individual or a device), and a Recorder, the individual or device that enters the data element into a health record field.
