NHSNLink: A CDC Application for COVID Medication Data
summary
Vendor-neutral reference implementation that queries inpatient EHRs over FHIR to capture medication exposure, authenticates via OAuth2/SMART conventions, runs CQL measures against patient lists (no system-level queries), and submits FHIR MeasureReports or CSV/HTML to CDC. Uses FHIR medication_request vs medicationAdministration mappings because many EHRs don’t expose administrations, so start/stop timestamps are frequently missing in pilots. Stores results in a secure repo, supports scheduled or manual runs, and exposes measure definitions from a central server for reproducible benchmarking. CQL + MeasureReport output
