New Resources Available: Teach Me Clinical Quality Language (CQL) Video Series
As part of continuing education and outreach for electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) standards, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has added three topics to the Teach Me Clinical Quality Language (CQL) video series. The intent of the videos is to support healthcare quality leaders, health information technology vendors, and measure developers understand the use of CQL.
New Teach Me CQL videos:
- Fluent Functions
- This video provides an overview of the use and benefits of using fluent functions in CQL, compares fluent functions to non-fluent functions, and provides examples.
- Hospitalization with Observation
- This video provides an overview of the Hospitalization with Observation function and an example of use for the function.
- Day of versus Date from
- This video provides an overview of timing precision in date comparisons in CQL, reviews the use of Day of and Date from in CQL, and examples of timing precision and day of and date from in current program eCQMs.
Please submit CQL-related questions to ecqm@icf.com. To find tools, resources, and additional CQL educational materials, visit the CQL page.
