How are CQL queries run?

CQL can be used with any data model. The examples presented in the Cooking with CQL, QDM, and FHIR® sessions use the Quality Data Model (QDM). QDM data can be represented in Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA) format for electronic quality reporting. QRDA is similar to the Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) standard. Both QRDA and C-CDA are HL7 Version 3 (V3) standards.
