Usage

To use these libraries in your implementation guide, include a reference to this implementation guide as an implementation guide dependency:

<dependsOn id="cqf-us">
  <uri value="http://fhir.org/guides/cqf/us/common/ImplementationGuide/fhir.cqf.us.common"/>
  <packageId value="fhir.cqf.us.common"/>
  <version value="0.1.0"/>
</dependsOn>

USCore ModelInfo

Clinical Quality Language (CQL) is a high-level, domain-specific language focused on clinical quality, and it is targeted at measure and decision support artifact authors. Additionally, the CQL specification provides a machine-readable canonical representation called Expression Logical Model (ELM), which is targeted at implementations, and designed to enable automated sharing of clinical knowledge.

​To use CQL with USCore, model information must be provided to the implementation environment. The USCore-ModelInfo library provides this information for US Core. To use USCore, include a using declaration as shown in the example below:

using USCore version '3.1.1'

Although not required by CQL, current best practice is to include the version of USCore.
