We need clarification on which QRDA I schematron version we should be using to validate QRDA files for the eReporting Period of 2015. Version 2 of the schematron is producing different results than version 2.1 (which we would expect), but we are not sure if there is an explicit link between schematron version and eReporting Period.

It appears that version 2.1 of the QRDA I schematron should be used for the 2016 eReporting Period, while version 2 should be used for the 2014 eReporting Period.

Do the QRDA I schematron file versions map to a specific eReporting Period version, or is the schematron version to be used for validation not dependent upon eReporting Period, but on other factors?

Thanks,

Francis Wippel
