The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that following more than one year of testing and input from the vendor and implementer communities, electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) in CMS quality programs will be transitioned to use the Clinical Quality Language (CQL) standard (CQL Release 1, Standard for Trial Use (STU) 2) for logic expression.
CQL is a Health Level Seven International standard and aims to unify the expression of logic for eCQMs and Clinical Decision Support (CDS). CQL provides the ability to better express logic defining measure populations to improve the accuracy and clarity of eCQM, according to a CMS press release. More information can be found on the eCQI resource page here.
