      CMS QRDA IGs and Schematrons are available at https://ecqi.healthit.gov/qrda-quality-reporting-document-architecture. I believe that you linked to the "Previous Versions" tab.

      Cypress is available at https://cypressvalidator.healthit.gov/. It currently validates 2019 reporting period QRDA I and III data. Please ensure that files submitted for validation do not contain PHI or PII.

      I am not familiar with popHealth or what it implements.

      There are two sets of QRDA IGs -- the HL7 IGs and the CMS IGs. The HL7 IGs serve as the base standards. The CMS IGs are in addition to the HL7 IGs. Therefore, to support the CMS IGs, you must fully implement the HL7 IGs as well. This is for both QRDA I and III. The CMS IGs linked above reference the HL7 IGs that they are built upon.

      1. There is no QRDA I Schematron or Implementation Guide for Eligible Clinicians & Eligible Professionals after the 2016 Reporting Period - https://ecqi.healthit.gov/qrda-quality-reporting-document-architecture#quicktabs-tabs_qrda3
      2. The Cypress Validation Utility, https://cypressvalidator.healthit.gov/ only supports QRDA Cat III (R2.1) for EP Programs. The only way to force fit a QRDA I is to select the ‘CMS Reporting Program – None’ option. 
      3. PopHealth 6.0, for 2019 eCQMs doesn’t recognize the template for QRDA I that we got from http://www.hl7.org/dstucomments/showdetail.cfm?dstuid=220
      4. From HL7 Standards - Section 5: Implementation Guides, there are only 2 guides available on QRDA, as follows:
       Name HL7 CDA® R2 Implementation Guide: Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA III), Release 1, STU Release 2.1 - US Realm
      Period Begin Jul 12, 2017
      Period End Dec 28, 2019

       And 

      Name HL7 CDA® R2 Implementation Guide: Quality Reporting Document Architecture I (QRDA I) Release 1, STU Release 5.1 - US Realm
      Period Begin Dec 11, 2017
      Period End Dec 11, 2019

       None of these indicate anywhere, whether they are applicable for HQR or ECs/EPs.
