Draft as of 2024-12-13 Computable Name: CQFUSCommon

Introduction

This implementation guide contains architectural guidance and re-usable libraries that facilitate the use of CQL with FHIR in the US Realm, with an initial use case of Prior Authorization Support Questionnaires as described in the DaVinci Documentation Templates and Rules (DTR) implementation guide.

Scope of Use

The intent of this guide is to support the use of CQL with FHIR in the US Realm with a focus on:

  • Providing architectural guidance for the evaluation of CQL expressions in the context of artifacts such as Questionnaires
  • Providing re-usable libraries of CQL expressions to retrieve data for common use cases in the US Realm
  • Providing guidance for managing CQL expressions that may involve retrieval of data from multiple versions of US Core
  • Gathering requirements for tooling to simplify the authoring of questionnaires that use CQL

Out of Scope

This implementation guide does not:

  • Define or mandate the use of any particular subsets of CQL
  • Define functions for the retrieval of simple elements from already retrieved FHIR resources (e.g. Patient.gender)
  • Define expectations for certification that require the use of any of the helper libraries provided in this implementation guide
