The Joint Commission and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are committed to supporting hospitals on their journey towards electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) adoption and transition to the new Clinical Quality Language (CQL) logic expression language for the 2019 eCQM reporting period. As a result of the feedback received from stakeholders interviewed through the CMS eCQM Strategy Project to reduce implementation and reporting burdens, this session provided an introduction regarding CQL expression language. This session served as the introduction for the Pioneers in Quality: Expert to Expert series deep dive into eCQMs that started in December 2018 and continued through March 2019.
