| CQMCommon | This library contains declarations that are commonly used in eCQMs and shared across the logic of multiple measures, such as the Encounter Inpatient value set, and the Inpatient Encounter population criteria definition. This library also contains functions for calculating hospitalization duration as well as hospital arrival and departure times. |
| CumulativeMedicationDuration | This library provides cumulative medication duration calculation logic for use with FHIR medication prescription, administration, and dispensing resources. The logic here follows the guidance provided as part of the 5.6 version of Quality Data Model. |
| FHIRHelpers | This library defines functions to convert between FHIR data types and CQL system-defined types, as well as functions to support FHIRPath implementation. For more information, the FHIRHelpers wiki page: https://github.com/cqframework/clinical_quality_language/wiki/FHIRHelpers |
