Below are The Joint Commission specific error and warning messages generated by the edits and Schematron rules executed against each uploaded QRDA I Document.  In addition, those CMS and Health Level Seven (HL7) Schematron rules that are frequently encountered when data is uploaded to the DDS Platform are also included below.

What is the difference between Error & Warning Messages?

QRDA I documents that generate one or more error messages have been rejected and not processed against the eCQM logic.  They are available for you to view within the Source Viewer from the Data Accuracy page.  Since they have not been processed against the eCQM logic, they are not available on the Quality Improvement page and cannot be submitted via the Submit Data page.

QRDA I documents that generated one or more warning messages AND no error messages may be submitted.  We recommend that hospitals review the warning messages to ensure they are not pointing to issues with data capture, data mapping, or QRDA I file generation that can be corrected before the submission deadline.  However, we do realize that hospitals may not have the ability to regenerate their CY 2019 QRDA I documents and so they are unable to correct these warning messages.  If this is your situation, we suggest you continue to review the warning messages and, if needed, work to update your software for CY 2021 and for future years so as to eliminate these warning messages to ensure your measure rates are as accurate as possible.
