Hi All,
How to store the codesystems and valuesets in the database for evaluating measures to generate measurereports??Do we actually need to store all kind of codesystems and valuesets in db for evaluation??
Please let me know.
Thanks in adv.

You may need to map between local codes and the codes used by the measures. That doesn't necessarily mean that you'll need a local copy of the code systems or value sets. You could rely on an external terminology server to evaluate things like "is this code part of valueset X" when that's necessary as part of measure evaluation

Thank you @Lloyd McKenzie
I wanted to know that if I have a CQL file and It has some valuesets then Is it needed to have the same valuesets and the respective codeSystems in the database to evaluate the measure to generate MeasureReport??

CQL just tells you what needs to be evaluated, it purposely doesn't tell you where that evaluation has to occur. Having said that, every system that I'm aware of that calculates quality measures (or any population-level query) does some form of local caching for value sets for performance.
