      For EP measures:
      Both the CMS implementation guides for QRDA-I and QRDA-III are available via the CMS site http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/ClinicalQualityMeasures.html. It is under the Downloads section, “2014 CMS QRDA Implementation Guides for EP Clinical Quality Measures [ZIP, 2MB]”.

      For EH measures:
      The CMS QRDA-I implementation guide for EH is downloadable from the QualityNet, https://www.qualitynet.org/dcs/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=QnetPublic%2FPage%2FQnetTier3&cid=1228772217179. “CMS Hospital Reporting (HR) Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA) Category I Release 2 Supplementary Implementation Guide - 2014 data submission, PDF-527 KB (11/12/13)”
      QRDA-III implementation guide is not applicable to the EH measures. This is because aggregated reports for EH measures will be reported by attestation for 2014, so there is no (and will not be) CMS QRDA-III implementation guide for EH published for 2014.

      Will CMS be releasing an implementation guide for QRDA I for 2014 electronic submission? Will CMS be releasing an implementation guide for QRDA III for 2014 electronic submission?

      It sounded like the answer was no in the EHRA meeting at HIMSS, but I want to confirm.
