Solution: Cypress uses an open source library named cqm-reports (https://github.com/projecttacoma/cqm-reports) to do its QRDA parsing. This library is written in ruby.

 Description   

Hello - we are interested in processing QRDA I files to pull encounter performance data.
We're considering using the HQMF files for each eCQM measure to develop a custom way to do this, and we're not sure if this is the right approach.

Is there a tool or recommendation for us as to how we can achieve this?

Hi John, I think Cypress is likely the best resource for you to look for to assist your task. I will reassign this ticket to the Cypress team and see if you could help to provide more specific information.

Hi Yan - thanks for your response. Our situation is that we are receiving QRDA I files and we want to pull out encounter performance data into our database for analysis and reporting. We are having difficulty extracting performance data and encounter data from the QRDA I files. This is what we're hoping for a tool or library to help us.

Hi John,

Not sure exactly what you are asking, would you please provide more explanation? 

If you are considering to develop a measure engine that processes eCQM specifications (using CQL-based HQMF) and queries data from your EHR or registries to generate QRDA I files for the eCQMs, it may be helpful to checkout Cypress  https://github.com/projectcypress/cypress, an open source tool for testing eCQM calculation.
