      It looks like that CONF:14450_P01 was a PQRS specific constraint for Risk Category Assessment. The 2015 CMS QRDA IG did not include the entry template PQRS specific constraints. This is improved in the CMS QRDA guide for 2016.

      Section 5.4 PQRS Patient Data Section Entry Templates in the 2016 CMS QRDA Appendix (2/28/2016) has listed all constraints that PQRS system validates for entry templates, including the ones that are specific to PQRS, the conformance numbers for these PQRS specific constraints use “PQRS_” as the prefix.

      For this particular CONF:14450_P01, PQRS system no longer constraints the value of Risk Category Assessment to PQ as specified in the 2016 CMS QRDA Appendix. Coded results are also accepted. As not all eCQMs expect PQ as result for Risk Category Assessment per measure definitions.

      I'm a member of the Cypress team and this question was raised on our list.
      In the 2015 PQRS Cat 1 R2 schematron, CONF:14450_P01 requires a value tag with xsi:type="PQ" but we're unable to trace this constraint back to either IG.

      Is there any documentation that can be provided to clarify this requirement?
