Note: . For CY2022 data, outpatient eCQMs will be rejected by the DDSP as at least one inpatient encounter is expected in all QRDA I documents. Starting with CY2023 data, The Joint Commission will align with CMS on utilizing the outpatient STEMI eCQMCMS’ QRDA I file format for data submission for their quality programs is different than the format which ONC currently utilizes for EHR Vendor certification purposes. To ensure hospitals can submit the same QRDA I file to both CMS and The Joint Commission, we have aligned with CMS and are utilizing their QRDA I file format. |
