Implementing CQL based Quality Measures
Learn how to implement FHIR data based CQL quality measures, focusing on the implementation of measures defined by third party organizations (e.g. Quality Registries, Payers, NCQA, CMS, the WHO). Consisting of 35% hands-on exercises, you can gain practical experience while learning.
After this training course, you will be able to:
- Explain the concepts behind Clinical Practice Guidelines, Quality Measures and Clinical Decision Support, and how these are expressed using FHIR knowledge artifacts and CQL expression logic.
- Use the FHIR Implementation Guides and other documentation of FHIR knowledge artifacts such as Measures and CQL.
- Build upon hands-on experience with FHIR knowledge artifacts gained during the training course.
- Analyse the data requirements associated with a Quality Measure in order to ensure that the data mappings between source systems and a FHIR-based CDR meets the requirements of the Measure Evaluation Service.
- Analyse the knowledge artifacts such as FHIR Measure resources and CQL as defined by third party organizations and understand their impact on your implementation context.
- Formulate when, where and how your organization might implement FHIR-based quality measures.
The hands-on nature allows the attendees to get an in-depth understanding of the material covered.
