Project Information
This project aligned the FHIRPath specification with CQL such that CQL uses FHIRPath as it's base expression language. CQL then extends FHIRPath, adding support for libraries, expression definitions, functions, queries, and other functionality.

Initial Alignment Proposal FHIRPath:CQL::XPath:XQuery
Project Requirements: There are numerous requirements within the FHIR specification for the use of a graph query language. These requirements overlap the requirements for Clinical Quality Language, but introduce additional requirements that are not met by CQL. This project will seek to align the specifications into a single specification.
Requirements for the graph query language are a subset of the requirements for reasoning defined in Harmonization of Health Quality Artifact Reasoning and Expression Logic plus additional requirements for use within the FHIR specification as detailed here: FHIRPath Introduction.
Meeting Information
TBD
Status
In progress.
