Infrastructure and Tooling

For digital quality adoption to be successful, organizations must have access to—and confidence in—the technology and data enablement services that support it. This workstream helps organizations that develop and deploy software—such as CQL engines and tools—to make applications that operate consistently and confidently, all working in unison to support digital quality measurement.

What Is the Digital Quality Transition Playbook?

This section contains the Digital Quality Playbook and resources specific to the infrastructure and tooling workstream, from understanding the HEDIS Implementation Guide to phasing out traditional measures and continued optimization.

Digital Introduction – Phase 1	Digital Enabled – Phase 2	Fully Digital – Phase 3	Digital Only – Phase 4
Understand the HEDIS® Implementation Guide. Determine FHIR data transition plan. Inventory clinical data sources. Determine availability of FHIR-based data from data partners (FHIR from the source).	Determine CQL strategy and best engine options. Plan for integration and digital measures and outcomes. Identify risks and integration gaps.	Phase out traditional processing.	Continue to optimize FHIR-from-the-source, CDI and data quality initiatives. Keep current with FHIR, USCDI and IG updates.
