Hello,

In the HL7 document for QRDA 2021(CDAR2_IG_QRDA_I_R1_STU5.2_2020FEB_Vol2), I have come across the attribute of 'Author Participation' which is required or optional for different data types. ( Document & snapshot attached).

Also, for eg if I see for data type- diagnosis performed the author participation is required but the  Diagnostic Study Performed (V5) Constraints Overview table (pg 493) mentions the verb as 'SHALL NOT' which contradicts the Required statement.

Could you confirm if this tag of Author Participation need not be included for all those data types where its mentioned as 'Required'?

Regards

Manali Rohra
