Hi all, what does 'population' mean in the resource 'measure'? Thank you
Jason Walonoski (Sep 19 2017 at 19:19):
Population represents the criteria that describes a population within a Clinical Quality Measure. It may help to look at one of the examples, such as http://hl7.org/fhir/STU3/measure-exclusive-breastfeeding.xml.html. Keep in mind that the population often refers to an external CQL expression from a referenced library.

Hi all,
How to create a Measure to generate a valid MeasureReport? Can anyone explain me with an example?
Bryn Rhodes (Dec 07 2018 at 22:32):
Hi @Mounika , the Quality Reporting topic in the spec gives an overview of how Measure and MeasureReport can be used: http://build.fhir.org/clinicalreasoning-quality-reporting.html
Bryn Rhodes (Dec 07 2018 at 22:33):
Specifically, there is an example measure included here: http://build.fhir.org/measure-cms146-example.html
Bryn Rhodes (Dec 07 2018 at 22:33):
With a corresponding example MeasureReport.
Bryn Rhodes (Dec 07 2018 at 22:34):
There are also lots of examples in the HEDIS-IG: http://build.fhir.org/ig/cqframework/hedis-ig/

Hi all,
We want to create CQL files for HEDIS Measures like Effective of care, Availability of care, Utilzation and etc. In HEDIS-IG, we found some measures only. We want to create other CQL files also. Give me some suggestions.
Bryn Rhodes (Dec 26 2018 at 18:37):
The HEDIS IG has a CQL library for each measure. FOr example, the BCS library: http://build.fhir.org/ig/cqframework/hedis-ig/Library-library-bcs-logic.xml.html
Bryn Rhodes (Dec 26 2018 at 18:37):
The CQL for the library is base-64 encoded as the content of the Library resource.
Bryn Rhodes (Dec 26 2018 at 18:38):
There's an HTML rendering in the IG here: http://build.fhir.org/ig/cqframework/hedis-ig/cql/stu3/bcs-logic.cql.html
Mounika (Jan 25 2019 at 10:07):
@Bryn Rhodes There are only 11 CQL files. But we want to create more CQLs. How to create?
Bryn Rhodes (Jan 25 2019 at 14:18):
There is a CQL syntax-highlighting plugin for Atom. There is also an online ad-hoc CQL runner: http://cql-runner.dataphoria.org

How to define and map sub measures in a Measure resource and in DEQM individual MeasureReport/ Summary MeasureReport?
For measures like COL, BCS we have sample implementations along with stratification examples.
However we do not have examples for measures like CIS where we have sub measures - CIS1 (DTap), CIS2 (IPV)

Hi @ramya theivam , there are two main approaches supported, one is multiple-rate measures, and the other is defining a composite measure that references other independently defined measures. Which one you use depends on factors like whether you are the author of the "sub measures", and how much re-use you want to enable (is the sub measure used in multiple measures, or just one).
Bryn Rhodes (Jun 08 2021 at 19:32):
The first approach, using multi-rate measures, is supported by the fact that the "group" element, which contains the population criteria definitions, is repeating, so you would define a group for each measure you want to define. An example is here: https://github.com/cqframework/ecqm-content-r4/blob/master/input/resources/measure/FHIR347.json#L887
Bryn Rhodes (Jun 08 2021 at 19:34):
The second approach, using composite measures, is supported by specifying component measures using the relatedArtifact elements, full examples of composites are here: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/cqfmeasures/2021May/examples.html#composite-measures

Thank you!
