The DQIC is a collaborative consensus-based effort to develop, advance, and standardize tools and platforms that make digital quality measurement possible. Initially, the Community will focus on evolving currently available Clinical Quality Language (CQL) engines that enable Digital Quality Measurements and plans to expand its scope to include additional tools, developers, and programming languages in the digital quality sector over time.

The DQIC brings together technical expertise, real world experience, regulatory knowledge, and public policy understanding to assess current regulatory frameworks and issues and, as appropriate, develop consensus proposals to enable the innovation and adoption of quality measurement application.  As appropriate, the DQIC will educate policy makers on these issues and proposals.  

The Vision of the DQIC is to attract the leading experts and organizations in the sector to enable rapid advancement of a consensus agreed upon approach to a quality enablement layer for the country to ensure consistency across disparate solutions. CQL engines can be variable and incomplete, which is why DQIC envisions developing clear requirements and test cases for consistent behavior. Confidence in and trust of the infrastructure is critical, and the Community must make the investment to convert once a consensus approach has been developed. In addition, the ability for the Community to continue to have the choice to select from among several vendors and not be locked in or dependent on a single vendor or approach will be key.

By participating in the DQIC, you will:

• Work collaboratively toward common goals;

• Keep track of key meetings and deliverables;

• Build relationships and network with your peers; and

• Contribute to your organization’s best practices

Please take some time to review the Digital Quality Implementers Community Charter as well as our membership.

One of the key outputs of the DQIC is the maintenance of automated tests for the Clinical Quality Language. The community has also begun to maintain a “test runner” repository which contains a Javascript implementation that allows for a CQL engine of choice to be plugged in and tested.
