Awesome

This is a project to generate and consume HITSP C32, QRDA Category I, and QRDA Category III.

In addition this project also contains libraries for parsing HQMF documents and for dealing with NLM valuesets.

Environment

This project currently uses Ruby 2.0.0, Ruby 2.1.1, Ruby 2.2.1, and JRuby 1.7.11 and is built using Bundler. To get all of the dependencies for the project, first install bundler:

gem install bundler

Then run bundler to grab all of the necessary gems:

bundle install

The Quality Measure engine relies on a MongoDB MongoDB running a minimum of version 2.4.* or higher. To get and install Mongo refer to:

http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Quickstart

Project Practices

Please try to follow the GitHub Coding Style Guides. Additionally, we are switching to the git workflow described in Juan Batiz-Benet's Gist. If you are new to the project and would like to make changes, please fork and do your work in a feature branch. Submit a pull request and we'll check to see if it is suitable to be merged in.

• Bug fix - Result importer will no longer double import result values
• QRDA Cat I importer now imports encounter order end times
• Bug fix - QRDA Cat I importer now properly imports condition and procedure ordinaltiy

3.4.1 - January 24, 2014

• Fix for JRuby - Nokogiri is now fixed to version 1.6.0 exactly. Version 1.6.1 was breaking the CCR part of the test suite under JRuby. Nokogiri 1.6.0 works properly across Ruby 1.9.3, Ruby 2.0.0 and JRuby 1.7.9

• Implemented support to encounter transfers in QRDA Cat I import and export
• Fixed bug where clinical trial participant would always return true on Record
• QRDA Cat I importer now extracts ordinality and values from procedures
• Better de-duplicating of data elements imported from QRDA Cat I
• CDA importers now handle removal time on medical equipment

3.3.0 - November 7, 2013

• Removing hardcoded headers in QRDA documents and replacing them with templates populated by Ruby objects
• XML structural fixes in QRDA Category III generation
• QRDA Category I generation was previously dependent on a patient being associated with a bundle id, it will now use the latest bundle if one is not provided
• Specified a version in our dependency on rubyzip. API changes in rubyzip were breaking our code
• Fixed discrepancies between our Measure model and the JSON representation provided in measure bundles

3.2.11 - September 4, 2013

• Adding rake tasks for working with measure bundles
• Fixes for XPath expression execution when using JRuby
• OID fixes for ordinality in QRDA Category
