The EvidenceVariable resource describes an element that knowledge (Evidence) is about.
This resource is a definition resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow , specifically Definition .
The scope of the EvidenceVariable Resource is to describe an element that knowledge (evidence) is about. The EvidenceVariable Resources are expected to be used with Evidence Resources to facilitate searching and knowledge representation.
Evidence may be reported for different types of knowledge. One commonly used format for expression of what evidence is about is the "PICO" format. PICO stands for:
Population - the population within which exposures and outcomes are being considered
Intervention - the conditional state or exposure state being described for which one is expressing the risk of or effect on an outcome
Comparison - the alternative conditional state or alternative exposure state when one is comparing states for the effect on an outcome
Outcome - the result or effect of an intervention or exposure in a population
PICO (and its variants like PECO or PICOT) is a universal acronym used in evidence-based medicine communities to clearly express research questions and evidence findings.
The
EvidenceVariable
Resource
allows
expression
of
the
components
of
a
PICO
question
in
codeable
and
reusable
formats.
As
an
exception,
the
Population
specification
will
NOT
use
the
EvidenceVariable
Resource.
The
Population
specification
will
use
the
Group
Resource
to
facilitate
interoperability
in
matching
Evidence
Resources
to
actual
groups.
Ballot
question:
The
EvidenceVariable
Resource
has
been
modified
to
support
expressions
of
complex
eligibility
criteria
for
implementer
communities
seeking
alternatives
to
Group
Resource
for
eligibility
criteria
for
clinical
trials.
With
these
changes,
the
current
EvidenceVariable
Resource
EvidenceVariable.definition
element
has
greater
flexibility
than
a
CodeableReference
datatype
which
can
define
the
Group
Resource
for
Population
specification.
Please
submit
PICO
component
as
a

comment

and/or
reference
to
note
if
you
support
a

to
the

Usage
to
delete
"As
an
exception,
the
Population
specification
will
NOT
use
the

Resource"
and

Resource.
The Resource describing evidence findings ( Evidence ) will reference EvidenceVariable to describe what the evidence findings are about.
