How FHIR-CQL Revolutionizes Evaluation and Reporting of eCQMs
FHIR and Clinical Quality Measures
February 2023
Have you been affected by the delays of manual extraction and validation of patients’ clinical quality measures (CQMs) while submitting them to the CMS?
Electronic clinical quality measures—eCQMs—are digital measures of healthcare quality that draw upon data from electronic health records (EHRs) and/or health IT systems. eCQM specifications are programmed to extract the required information and submit it in a readable format to CMS, saving time and resources while ensuring uniformity of data, increased submission frequencies and fewer errors. CMS currently mandates eCQMs for various aspects of patient care and is aiming to transition to all quality measures being digital by 2025.
