Cypress QRDA Validation Utility Now Available

The Cypress Validation Utility with support for the 2015 CMS QRDA Combined Implementation Guide is now available for use. This new utility is intended as a development tool for health IT vendors and others who are testing synthetic QRDA Category I and Category III documents for conformance to CMS submission requirements for the 2015 reporting period. While it is not required for certification and does not constitute a certification test, it is designed to help vendors reduce file submission errors when they submit reports to CMS. Note that files submitted for validation testing must not contain PHI or PII.

You can access the Cypress QRDA utility from ONC’s SITE, the Standards Implementation and Testing Environment. QRDA Validators are found in the QRDA Sandbox at this link. Please send any questions or feedback about the validation utility to ta...@projectcypress.org. Thank you.
