in Quality Measurement<\/h2>\r\n<h3>What is Clinical Quality Language (CQL)?<\/h3>\r\nThe CQL specification is an open-source standard published by HL7, designed to describe clinical rules and quality measures. It is a way to communicate complex healthcare information in a clear and consistent manner, and in a way that both humans and machines can read and understand. With CQL, complex clinical scenarios, such as patient eligibility, conditions, and interventions, can be described with a level of detail and flexibility that supports a variety of healthcare applications. This language plays a critical role in facilitating interoperability among different health IT systems and is commonly used for defining clinical quality measures in electronic form, supporting data exchange, and enabling automated decision support within healthcare systems.\r\n<h3>The Role of CQL in Clinical Data and Quality Measures<\/h3>\r\nCQL plays a critical role in helping healthcare systems maintain high-quality care by providing a common language to express clinical concepts, support interoperability, and facilitate quality measurement. It also serves as the foundation for creating automated processes that assess healthcare quality and guide clinical decisions.\r\n\r\n[GRAPHIC 1]\r\n<h3>How Does CQL Align with NCQA's Quality Standards and Goals?<\/h3>\r\nNCQA is dedicated to improving the quality of healthcare through measurement, transparency, and accountability. NCQA's primary focus is on promoting high standards in healthcare delivery, emphasizing evidence-based practices, patient-centered care, and continuous quality improvement.\r\n\r\nCQL aligns with these standards and goals in several ways:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Promoting High-Quality Care:<\/strong> CQL enables NCQA to define and measure clinical quality in a way that supports evidence-based practices and consistent healthcare delivery. By adopting CQL, NCQA can ensure that its quality standards are applied uniformly across different healthcare organizations.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Enhancing Patient-Centered Care:<\/strong> The human-readable nature of CQL allows for a clearer understanding of quality measures, facilitating communication between providers and patients. This alignment with patient-centered care encourages transparency and shared decision-making in clinical settings.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Supporting Continuous Quality Improvement:<\/strong> CQL's flexibility and expressiveness allow NCQA to update and refine quality measures as healthcare best practices evolve. This feature supports NCQA's goal of fostering continuous quality improvement in healthcare.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Encouraging Accountability and Transparency:<\/strong> CQL's standardized approach to defining quality measures enhances accountability by ensuring that quality standards are clear and consistently applied. This transparency aligns with NCQA's focus on promoting accountability within healthcare organizations.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Reducing Barriers to Compliance:<\/strong> By streamlining the process of implementing and evaluating quality measures, CQL helps healthcare organizations comply with NCQA's standards. This simplification aligns with NCQA's goal of reducing barriers to achieving high-quality care.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Drivers of NCQA\u2019s Adoption of CQL<\/h3>\r\nNCQA's adoption of CQL is driven by the need for standardization, interoperability, and efficiency in healthcare quality measurement. CQL's advantages in these areas, particularly in the context of HEDIS digital measures, support NCQA's overarching quality standards and goals, leading to improved healthcare outcomes and enhanced accountability.\r\n\r\nDrivers include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Interoperability and Standardization:<\/strong> Designed to be interoperable across different healthcare platforms, NCQA recognizes that adopting CQL will facilitate more consistent and standardized quality measurements across diverse healthcare environments, addressing one of the key challenges in healthcare quality assessment.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Human-Readable Format:<\/strong> Unlike traditional programming languages, CQL is designed to be more accessible and human-readable. This feature allows clinicians, quality measure developers and other stakeholders to understand and work with the logic underlying clinical quality measures without extensive technical expertise.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Improved Efficiency and Automation:<\/strong> NCQA believes that CQL's standardized approach will lead to greater automation in quality measurement processes, reducing manual data collection and interpretation. This efficiency aligns with the organization\u2019s focus on promoting effective, streamlined quality assessment methods.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nNCQA\u2019s strategy is aligned with national and global initiatives that are driving the adoption of well-structured and comprehensive data systems. Organizations like the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) are mandating the use of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthit.gov\/topic\/interoperability\/policy\/trusted-exchange-framework-and-common-agreement-tefca\">FHIR<\/a>) to improve interoperability in healthcare systems. Additionally, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are advocating for the adoption of electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/files\/document\/2022-ecqm-reporting-requirements.pdf\">Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program<\/a>, leading to a continued emphasis on CQL and related requirements.\r\n<h3>Advantages of Using CQL for HEDIS Digital Measures<\/h3>\r\nDeveloped and maintained by NCQA, HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) is a comprehensive set of standardized performance measures used to assess the quality of care and services provided by health plans and healthcare organizations.\r\n\r\nHEDIS digital measures refer to the digitalization of these performance measures, allowing them to be used in electronic health records (EHRs) and other digital health systems. These digital measures are designed to streamline data collection, reduce manual processes, and improve the accuracy and consistency of healthcare quality assessments. By using digital measures, healthcare organizations can more easily report their performance, enabling better benchmarking and comparisons across different systems and regions.\r\n\r\nThrough this process, HEDIS digital measures play a crucial role in promoting high-quality, patient-centered care by providing reliable, standardized, and efficient tools for assessing and improving healthcare performance.\r\n\r\nThe adoption of CQL offers several advantages for HEDIS digital measures:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Consistency Across Measures:<\/strong> CQL allows for a consistent approach to defining clinical quality measures, ensuring that HEDIS measures are uniformly interpreted and implemented. This consistency is crucial for reliable healthcare quality assessment.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Facilitating Automation:<\/strong> By using CQL, healthcare organizations can automate the extraction and analysis of administrative (claims) and clinical data for HEDIS measures. This automation not only speeds up the process but also reduces the risk of errors associated with manual data handling.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Scalability and Adaptability:<\/strong> CQL's flexible and expressive language allows for complex clinical logic, making it easier to update or create new HEDIS measures as healthcare needs evolve. This adaptability ensures that HEDIS remains relevant in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Enhanced Interoperability:<\/strong> CQL's design is aimed at promoting interoperability among various health IT systems. This feature helps ensure that HEDIS digital measures can be implemented across different platforms, improving data sharing and collaboration between healthcare providers.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Transparency and Accessibility:<\/strong> Since CQL is human-readable, it enhances the transparency of HEDIS measures. Clinicians and other stakeholders can more easily understand the criteria behind quality assessments, promoting a clearer understanding of quality standards.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Examples of CQL in Action with HEDIS Measures<\/h3>\r\n<strong><em>Breast Cancer Screening:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis HEDIS measure evaluates the percentage of women aged 50-74 who have had a mammogram within a specific timeframe. A CQL engine would retrieve data on patient demographics, mammogram records, and the relevant time range. It would then apply the clinical logic to determine whether each patient meets the screening criteria.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Diabetes Care - HbA1c Testing:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis measure assesses whether patients with diabetes have received an HbA1c test within a certain period. A CQL engine would extract data on patients diagnosed with diabetes and check for records of HbA1c tests. It would then calculate the percentage of patients who meet the criteria for the measure.\r\n<h2>About CQL Engines and How They Work<\/h2>\r\n<h3>What is a CQL Engine?<\/h3>\r\nA CQL engine is an implementation of the CQL specification that has the capability to execute clinical quality logic. This logic may initially be authored as human-readable CQL but needs to be rendered as machine-readable ELM before execution. The CQL engine processes CQL expressions to evaluate clinical data and perform automated healthcare-related tasks. Clinical and administrative data is input into the CQL engine, which uses the instructions in the CQL script to compute quality measures, apply clinical decision rules and derive outcomes.\r\n<h3>How Does the CQL Engine Calculate Measure Outcomes?<\/h3>\r\nThe process of calculating measure outcomes with a Clinical Quality Language (CQL) engine involves several steps, from interpreting the measure's criteria to deriving the final result.\r\n\r\nHere is a breakdown of the process:\r\n\r\n[GRAPHIC 2]\r\n<h3>Typical Use Cases for CQL Engines in Healthcare<\/h3>\r\nCQL engines have various use cases in healthcare, particularly in the context of quality measurement and clinical decision support. Some examples are:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Quality Measurement:<\/strong> CQL engines can process quality measures, such as those found in HEDIS, to assess healthcare providers' and plans' performance against standardized metrics. For example, CQL can help determine if a patient meets specific quality measures, such as whether they received recommended screenings or vaccinations within a certain timeframe.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Clinical Decision Support:<\/strong> CQL can assist healthcare providers in making clinical decisions by analyzing patient data to identify potential risks, such as flagging drug interactions or alerting providers to potential gaps in care based on clinical guidelines.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Population Health Management:<\/strong> CQL can be used to analyze population health data to identify trends, risk factors and opportunities for intervention, such as identifying at-risk populations for targeted outreach or preventive care programs.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Risk Stratification:<\/strong> CQL can help stratify patients based on their risk levels for certain conditions or adverse outcomes, enabling providers to prioritize resources and interventions for those most in need.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Treatment Pathway Adherence:<\/strong> CQL can assess whether patients are adhering to recommended treatment pathways or protocols, such as determining if patients with chronic conditions are receiving appropriate medications and follow-up care.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Research and Analytics: CQL engines can be used to analyze large datasets to extract insights related to patient outcomes, treatment effectiveness and other healthcare research topics.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Regulatory Compliance:<\/strong> CQL engines can help healthcare organizations demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements by providing a standardized way to evaluate and report clinical data.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>What is the Difference Between a Measure Engine and a CQL Engine?<\/h3>\r\nA measure engine and a Clinical Quality Language (CQL) engine serve similar functions in the context of healthcare quality assessment, but they differ in terms of their specific roles, flexibility, and underlying technology.

There are multiple ways to source clinical data and they come from various sources. With the advancement of interoperability, most significantly the FHIR\u00ae standard, collection data from various data sources will become less burdensome while the uniformity of the data will benefit better measure results and insights.\n\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Who is involved in leveraging standardized clinical data?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Your own interoperability and clinical data teams<\/li>\n \t<li>Data vendors and interoperability<\/li>\n \t<li>Data sources (provider systems, EMR vendors)<\/li>\n \t<li>Aggregators (e.g. HIEs)<\/li>\n \t<li>Registries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>How to access clinical data via FHIR\u00ae<\/strong>\n\nA common thread in engaging with stakeholders around clinical data enablement is FHIR\u00ae. Interoperability teams at the abovementioned data partners and enablers need to work with a shared understanding of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Cures Act provisions in Title IV, which among other things mandates that clinical data needs to be accessible with \u2018No Special Effort.\u2019 ONC and CMS rules further define the implementation of FHIR\u00ae APIs, data elements via USCDI and more.\n\nData quality is another key aspect. Standard best practices are expected to evolve as the digital quality transition progresses.\n\n<strong>Enabling Digital Quality with FHIR\u00ae<\/strong>\n\nNot all clinical data will be available in the FHIR\u00ae format right away. During the transition to digital quality, significant amounts of data will only be available in other formats. To ensure that digital quality systems received the FHIR\u00ae formatted data they need, two approaches need to be considered and typically deployed side-by-side. Engaging with interoperability and data management teams to determine an approach and available options for FHIR\u00ae enabling clinical data is important.\n\n<strong>Data Sources for dQMs <\/strong>\n\nWhile administrative data sources remain important for HEDIS \u2013 and they need to be converted to FHIR\u00ae for digital quality, additional data sources are important to meet the needs for clinical data as existing measures evolve and new measures become available.\n\nAs a general guideline, data sources defined as allowable by ECDS will become the standard even as supplemental data and chart reviews get deprecated during the transition to digital quality. The following graphic shows data sources relevant to digital quality:\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26711\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.ncqa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/NCQA-DigitalDataSources-web-version.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"171\" \/>\n\nThese sources (and measure design for dQMs) also consider the need for leveraging clinical data that is being generated from routine workflows, i.e. in the course of delivering care to patients. The data is no (and should not be) use-case specific to digital quality measurement and can be used to support other use cases, like pubic health and patient care treatment. Such broader useability of structured clinical data is key to getting maximum value from clinical data in the future.","link":"https:\/\/www.ncqa.org\/resources\/clinical-data-for-quality-use-the-basics\/"}];</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.ncqa.org/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_single_2b9c6bee0a4bfd951a4bc645c5bcd627.js?ver=1.0.0" id="localized-js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.ncqa.org/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/mouse.min.js?ver=1.13.3" id="jquery-ui-mouse-js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.ncqa.org/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/draggable.min.js?ver=1.13.3" id="jquery-ui-draggable-js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.ncqa.org/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_single_19876fc818584aa6268eb84e33dce241.js?ver=20220421" id="components-js"></script> </body></html>
