Example Measures

QDM Example Measures

The measures in this section are all written with CQL version 1.1, based on QDM 5.0+, and conform to the latest formatting and usage conventions. In addition, they have all been syntactically and semantically validated using the latest CQL-to-ELM translator.

Note that these examples are still a work in progress and should not be considered a final specification or recommendation for guidance. These examples will help guide and direct the process of finding conventions and usage patterns that meet the needs of the various stakeholders in the measure development community.

Other Examples

Example measures in this section are currently part of the source for discussion items. Note that although efforts have been made to keep these examples up to date with the latest formatting and usage guidelines, they are the result of effort over time and may not always be current.

Note also that some of these examples use QDM as the data model, and some use QUICK. The model used by the measure is indicated by the using declaration at the top of the measure.
