      A change to the Schematron for the id root extension for program name was made for 2019. TJC indicates we should be using: HQR_IQR for their submissions but based on JIRA ticket "QRDA-781", for CMS (eCQM / PI) submissions, we should be using HQR_PI_IQR.
      Please clarify which we should include in the file as our understanding is that we should be able to submit the same file to both agencies this year.

        Thank you for getting back to me on this! We'll plan on submitting HQR_PI_IQR for both agencies then. Thanks.

        Hi Kristen,

        TJC has confirmed that their submissions do not restrict the program name code to only "HQR_IQR". So if you are submitting to CMS to meet requirements for both IQR and PI, you should be able to send the same file with the "HQR_PI_IQR" program name code to both TJC and CMS. 

        The only requirement from TJC regarding the program name for the 2019 reporting period is that it has to be one of the CMS program name code specified in the 2019 CMS QRDA IG. 

        Thanks.

        Thanks Kristen. I see your concerns. We will pass your comment to TJC and get their feedback.

        Thank you. I've submitted a question on this to QNET as well requesting direction on which program name to use. Most hospitals submit eCQMs to meet requirements for both IQR and PI. I'm assuming that we are supposed to use HQR_PI_IQR for eCQM submissions to QNET in order to meet both programs. If we are required to use HQR_PI_IQR for CMS programs and HQR_IQR for TJC, we will need to create separate QRDA files for these submissions.

        Hi Kristen,

        If you were instructed by TJC to use HQR_IQR for their submission, then please use HQR_IQR to submit to TJC. 

        QRDA-781 is addressing a different question and it does not relate to TJC submittions. In the prior reporting year, the program name "HQR_PI_IQR" was named "HQR_EHR_IQR", but this was renamed to "HQR_PI_IQR" for the 2019 reporting period, because CMS renamed the EHR Incentive Program to the Promoting Interoperability Program.

        For CMS submissions, are you submitting for the PI and IQR? It would be best if you contact the QualityNet Help Desk to make sure you are using the appropriate program name code for your particular situation. 

        In terms of the QRDA I file itself though, for the 2019 reporting period, the same file should work for both agencies maybe with the exception of the CMS program name code.
