The IBM® Cohort and Quality Measure Service supports evaluation of cohorts defined in Clinical Quality Language CQL and clinical quality measures defined using FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) Measure resource syntax.
The service makes use of and builds upon current open source projects supporting CQL-based cohort processing, namely:
This project looks to extend existing CQL-based cohort evaluation capabilities by delivering additional features in the following areas:
- Optimized FHIR server access patterns for improved cohort evaluation performance
- Ability to evaluate a set of quality measures against the same collection of patient data
- Addition of a distributed processing model to achieve improved throughput when evaluating a large number of cohorts and measures against a large patient population
The IBM Cohort and Quality Measure Service is under active development. To help develop the service, clone or download the project and build it using Maven. See Setting up for development for more information.
