To close the loop on this, the 2018 CMS QRDA III IG is based on the HL7 QRDA III STU Release 2.1, and this is for use in the 2018 performance period.
We are very unclear on the CAT III and CAT I version we're supposed to be using for 2018 certification. All I see on the eCQI website for 2018 reporting period are references to the CMS CAT III or Hospital QRDA formats. We are an ambulatory system.
We had assumed that we should grab the latest versions of HL7 CAT I and CAT III specifications (release 5) but are getting all kinds of template ID errors from Cypress, so we rolled back to release 4. But then if Cypress is updated to support release 5 later, we have to rework all of this.
Please advise - which release of HL7 CAT I and CAT III spec and implementation guides should we be using for 2018 CQM certification for Ambulatory Systems? I have not found an answer to this question either on eCQI or on this JIRA.
Thanks,
Laura
