With the recent discussions around payers exposing USCDI FHIR, a few of us have been thinking through what it would look like to point a cql execution service (e.g. https://github.com/DBCG/cql_execution_service) at a payer provided USCDI FHIR API.
Does this begin the exciting phase in which CQL is able to be reliably executed on payer data for quality measures? Is there more work to be done (e.g. QI-Core requirements vs US-Core, or other IG work)
How are other folks thinking about the new rules via a CQL/Quality Measure lens?

Hi @Jeffrey Taylor , I've just committed a branch that allows the translator to work against USCore and QICore as profiles. We're still testing the engine with those models, but the idea is to support query against servers that support those profiles.
Using FHIR
And the same queries using QICore

We're planning to test this as part of a scenario at the upcoming connectathon.

This is helpful .. and exciting! Thanks @Bryn Rhodes

After thinking through this a bit more, what types of usages will CQL on US-Core provide, given that QI-Core is aiming to satisfy needs of CDS and CQI? Are there thoughts around what use cases CQL on US-Core will be used for?
