For HEDIS 2020, NCQA-certified eCQM vendors can transform certified QRDA1 files to other industry standard formats (e.g., CCD, FHIR) so the data can be ingested for HEDIS reporting. The transformed file (e.g., CCD, FHIR) must include only data from the certified QRDA1 file. Auditors must validate the transformed file to the certified QRDA1 file, verifying nothing changed in the transformation process. If validation passes, the transformed file can continue to be considered standard supplemental data.
