Measure Authoring Tool Overview
The tool provides the capability to express complex measure logic and export measures in several formats, including a human-readable document that can be viewed in a web browser, an eCQM HQMF XML document which provides metadata, terminology, data elements and specific population definitions respective to the measure, a CQL file which contains the terminology and expression logic used by the measure, an ELM XML export that is a computer-readable XML version of the CQL file, and a Javascipt Object Notation (JSON) export which is a serialized format of the ELM file. The data expressed in the tool by the users serves as the input for the creation of the defined export files.
