Standards-based Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Digital Age

The standards developed and used through Adapting Clinical Guidelines for the Digital Age support the clinical quality ecosystem by considering the entire learning health system. A computable guideline developed using CPG-on-FHIR® can be modularly reconfigured into multiple types of derivatives, such as CDS and eCQMs. In other words, the computable guidelines that represent a faithful translation of the evidence-based guidelines in computable form can be rearranged like Lego blocks into different ways to support patient care, such as supporting shared decision-making at the point of care through CDS or measuring patient outcomes through eCQMs.

Current standards:

• FHIR Clinical Guidelines “CPG-on-FHIR”
• Clinical Quality Language (CQL)
• FHIR Clinical Reasoning Module and key components
  • Measure
  • Measure Report
  • Clinical Decision Support Artifacts (Event-Condition-Action Rules, Order Sets, Documentation Templates)
