Clinical Quality Language (CQL) is a ANSI certified[1] clinically-focused high-level expression language standard curated by Health Level 7.[2] It is designated for clinical knowledge sharing in the domains of electronic clinical quality measurement and clinical decision support.[3]

Clinical quality language is being used for a variety of clinical applications including WHO SMART guidelines where it is used for encoding decision logic and performance indicators.[4] The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services adopted CQL for clinical quality measure specifications since 2019.[5][6]

CQL allows modular and flexible expression of logic and is both human-readable and machine processable.[5]

An implementation of CQL was open sourced and published by the National Committee for Quality Assurance in 2023 with the aim of encouraging adoption of the language.[7]
