Invalid QRDA I Documents typically cannot be displayed within the Source Viewer and it may appear as a preprocess validation error on the Data Accuracy bar chart. (TJC-100031 and TJC-100027)

There are two primary reasons for why the ‘Invalid QRDA XML file’ error is generated:

• Section / Element: XML File format issue

  • File does not confirm to being a valid HL7 QRDA I XML file.  Please review the file that you submitted using tools available within your organization or supplied by your vendor.

  • Please contact your IT staff or vendor that supplied the software being used to generate the QRDA I documents to correct this error.

• Section / Element: Patient ID

  • Only English alphabet characters, numeric characters, and the following special characters are allowed in the Patient ID:
     ~  !  @  #  $  %  ^  *  (  )  _  +  {  }  |  :  ?  `  -  =  [  ]  \  ;  ‘  .  ,  / and space

    • All other characters will trigger this error, including &, <, >,  and foreign numbers and characters.

  • If this file does not open within Source Viewer, please review it using tools available within your organization or supplied by your vendor. 

    • Especially look for '<' and '>' being before and after the Patient ID.  We have been informed by some EHR vendors that this may occur when a 'temporary' Patient ID has been assigned to the record within the EHR. 

    • Please contact your IT staff, EHR vendor, or vendor that supplied the software being used to generate the QRDA I documents if assistance is needed to correct this error.
