NEW YORK – February 10, 2025 – Firely, a leader in FHIR-native healthcare solutions, is excited to announce the launch of Firely dQM, a game-changing digital quality measurement (dQM) solution enabling real-time insights that can enhance care, enable data-driven decision-making, and reduce costs.
Firely dQM, powered by Firely’s FHIR server, executes CMS, HEDIS, and custom quality measures directly on FHIR-native data, ensuring greater accuracy, efficiency, and scalability for payers, value-based care organizations, and technology providers.
Developed in collaboration with NCQA, Firely dQM guarantees compliance with industry standards while providing organizations with a high-performance and flexible solution to meet their quality reporting needs.
Addressing industry challenges with a future-proof solution
For years, the healthcare industry has struggled with complex and labor-intensive quality measurement processes that rely on manual updates, vendor dependencies, and extensive IT support—all of which result in delayed insights and inefficiencies.
Firely dQM changes the game by offering:
- FHIR-native execution of quality measures, reducing the burden of data transformation.
- Real-time measure execution, allowing organizations to track quality performance continuously rather than relying on annual data extractions.
- CQL-powered standardization, removing the need for custom-coded measures.
- Self-hosted deployment options, providing full control and security.
Ewout Kramer, CTO of Firely, emphasized the significance of this launch:
“The industry is rapidly moving toward FHIR and CQL-based digital quality measures, and Firely dQM ensures that organizations are not left behind. Firely dQM allows them to move away from time-consuming, outdated approaches and embrace a future where quality measurement is real-time, flexible, and fully integrated into their existing FHIR infrastructure.”
A performance-driven, interoperable solution
Built from the ground up for speed and interoperability, Firely dQM is designed to work within existing FHIR-based ecosystems. Unlike traditional solutions that rely on proprietary data models, Firely dQM is 100% FHIR-native, making it easy to export, manage, and execute measures without expensive custom development.
Rich Almeida, Vice President of Product Strategy & Compliance at Firely, shared his perspective:
“We’ve listened to the challenges of payers, providers, and vendors who have struggled with manual processes and inconsistent measure execution. With Firely dQM, we wanted to take the complexity out of quality measurement—so we designed a solution that is fast, accurate, and scalable, so organizations can keep up with regulatory changes and focus on better patient outcomes rather than burdensome admin.”
A commitment to industry collaboration
As a member of the Digital Quality Implementers Community (DQIC), Firely continues to lead the charge in advancing digital quality measurement. Built in collaboration with NCQA, Firely dQM incorporates the same .NET SDK for CQL execution that serves as the foundation for NCQA’s own digital quality initiatives—ensuring industry alignment and regulatory compliance.
