Purpose: 

The Joint Commission’s Direct Data Submission Platform (DDSP) provides HCO staff with a Logic Explorer to assist in researching and understanding how the patient data processed against the eCQM specifications.

How to Use:

On the right side of the Quality Improvement page, click on the magnifying glass next to the QRDA I document needing to be researched.  The Source Viewer's "Logic Explorer" will automatically open.

To access the "Source Viewer", click on the 'Mode' drop-down box on the right-hand side of the box and select "Source Viewer".  To toggle back to "Logic Explorer", click on the 'Mode' drop-down box again and select "Logic Explorer".

You may receive the message “Alert: The Logic Explorer may not function properly because the QRDA has warnings.”  If this is the case, and Logic Explorer is not working as expected for the QRDA I document, go back to the Data Accuracy page and review the warning messages that were generated for the document.  If Logic Explorer is working as expected, then close this message box and continue working within Logic Explorer.

Using the Logic Explorer:

Once in the page, it will populate with:

• On the upper side of the page, QRDA file description appear.

  • Measure

  • Reporting Quarter

  • Patient ID

  • Filename

  • Processing Date

• On the Lower side of the page, the CQL logic with all the definition expended appear.

  • A Blue check mark means that the encounter met the definition of that portion of the measure.

  • A Red cross mark means that the encounter does not meet the definition of that portion of the measure.

Many of the blue check marks and red crosses can be clicked for more information. Below is an example of clicking on a blue check mark. In this case, the code that fit the required value set and the dates that fit the required timing are shown.

The definition below failed and we can see there was no “Intervention, Order” or “Intervention, Performed” with a code was found in the “Comfort Measures” value set. If we click on the failing red cross then we are shown the codes that do exist in “Comfort Measures” value set.

Next steps if an encounter definition is not passing the measure: review the conditions of the definition within the source viewer to determine if the file contains those conditions in order to trouble shoot and resolve the issue.
