Topic: References of Use of CQL in International Projects

I try to collect usage of CQL in conjunction with FHIR or also other data models in international projects. What I already found is the Quality Measure Implementation Guide. I'm not familiar with US health care. It seems that CQL is used for eCQMs. I'm especially interested in research projects using CQL in some way.

We have been doing some work with CQL / FHIR for defining EHR-based phenotypes for research studies. One example (paper submitted, under consideration at journal) is at: https://github.com/PheMA/heart-failure-use-case. Implementation code at: https://github.com/PheMA/cql-on-omop

These are all US-based, so I don't know if that counts for what you are looking for, but each of the first four projects in this search are using FHIR- and CQL-based decision support to research shared decision making.

@Luke Rasmussen , that's great, do you mind if I add a link to that in the Community Projects page?
Alexander Kiel (Mar 04 2020 at 11:08):
Thanks @Bryn Rhodes it seems so that CQL is daily used in the US. Do you know what tooling is used there? If the write "AHRQ CDS Connect authoring tool" that is only the authoring tool to create CQL queries - right? What FHIR Servers and CQL evaluations engines are used there?
Bryn Rhodes (Mar 04 2020 at 16:16):
The CDS Connect authoring tool is using the javascript execution engine, but how that content actually ends up being executed depends on where it's deployed. That might be the CQL Services, or it might be the CQF-Ruler, among other things.

As far as authoring, there is also an Atom Plugin that supports authoring CQL in Atom.
Chris Moesel (Mar 04 2020 at 16:51):
There is also CQL Online -- although that's not really a long-term authoring solution. And MeasureAuthoringTool, but that's specifically for eCQMs and I don't think it supports FHIR.
Luke Rasmussen (Mar 04 2020 at 18:24):
@Bryn Rhodes we'd love for it to be added, thank you!
Luke Rasmussen (Mar 04 2020 at 18:25):
@Chris Moesel - the Measure Authoring Tool (MAT) is rolling out a testing version of "MAT on FHIR" this weekend (I believe). But you're right, it's supporting QDM right now in production.
Bryn Rhodes (Mar 04 2020 at 18:29):
Done, thanks @Luke Rasmussen !
