The Joint Commission's XPath and Measure OIDs Document is being provided to assist software developers in understand where the DDS Platform is expecting data to exist within the QRDA I Document. There are three Tabs within the document. They are:
2021 2024 Release xPath tab - contains the xPath which is used to find or map the location of each element within a QRDA I document. The “Key Table” section at the bottom of this tab makes the mapping more readable, the Key Table provides the XPath for the corresponding sections.

The Conformance Number for each rule is provided within the schematron document. These Conformance Numbers are available within Source Viewer to assist in tying error and warning messages back to the schematron rule.
There are three types of conformance statements with different formats for the CONF number:displayed.
Joint Commission CONF numbers (TJC-xxxxxx)
CMS CONF numbers (CMS_xxxx_xxxx-C01 or xxxx_xxxx-C01)
HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) QRDA Category I Errors (xxxx_xxxx).
o Please note that HL7 Conformance numbers are not prefixed with "HL7". All Conformance numbers without the prefix of "TJC" or "CMS" or a suffix of "C01" are HL7 Conformance numbers.
For more information concerning CMS or HL7 Conformance numbers, see the below reference material:
CMS: Visit the eCQI Resource Center CMS QRDA IG publication page for the documents associated to this year's data.
HL7: Visit the HL7 website to obtain the version of the HL7 CDA® R2 IG: QRDA I applicable for this year's data.
