CQL Execution 3.0.0 Beta Overview

CQL Execution 3.0.0 Beta supports an asynchronous execution flow. Patients are still processed in a serial fashion, but calls to the DataProvider (a.k.a. PatientSource) and TerminologyProvider (a.k.a. CodeService) can now happen asynchronously. This allows for these providers to more easily leverage web services and databases for their data.

Breaking Changes

This is a breaking change. Implementers are required to make minor updates to their code to use this release. The code snippets below demonstrate the old way of invoking the v2.x.x engine and two ways to invoke the 3.x.x engine.

// v2.x.x usage
const result = executor.exec(patientSource);
// Do something with result

// v3.x.x usage
executor.exec(patientSource).then((result) => {
  // Do something with result
})

// or

const result = await executor.exec(patientSource);
// Do something with result

Existing implementations of DataProvider (PatientSource) and TerminologyProvider (CodeService) will continue to work as-is. Implementers who maintain their own implementations of these services may want to consider updating them to return results asynchronously.

For more information, see the V2 to V3 Migration Guide.

In addition, when running cql-execution in a Node.js environment, you should use at least Node 16.
