I am diving into CQL and have some fairly basic questions. The one I am working on now is trying to add a where clause to an encounter to ensure the patient is a certain age at the time of the encounter. Does anyone know how I would code that in CQL?
Bryn Rhodes (Jan 28 2018 at 02:50):
CQL has an "AgeInYearsAt" operator, you pass the time of the encounter, so:
Bryn Rhodes (Jan 28 2018 at 02:50):
[Encounter] E
where AgeInYearsAt(E.period."start") >= 18

Is it possible to define your own retrieve data types in CQL? Or is it required that an data model in XML be used?
Bryn Rhodes (Jan 30 2018 at 00:17):
Yes, you can provide your own data model, you just have to provide the model info to describe the structures. We provide model info for multiple versions of QDM and FHIR, as well as QUICK and some specialized models for some decision support related to Opioid usage.
