Using CQL with the SDC $populate operation for FHIR Questionnaire Workflow Automation

Details

The session focuses on automating and enhancing questionnaire workflows within FHIR-based healthcare applications by integrating Clinical Quality Language (CQL) with the SDC $populate operation. Key concepts include building 'smart questionnaires' that utilize CQL libraries for dynamic data retrieval, complex calculations, and advanced logic. The discussion centers around the Da Vinci Prior Authorization Burden Reduction DTR use case, demonstrating how to pre-populate questionnaire fields from EHR data using CQL, supporting sophisticated behaviors like conditional logic, and managing context and data requirements. Furthermore, best practices for creating modular, reusable CQL assets are covered, illustrating how this approach enables more intelligent, interoperable, and efficient clinical forms within the FHIR ecosystem.
