On January 3, 2013, CMS published a request for information from hospitals, electronic health record (EHR) vendors, and other interested parties regarding hospital readiness beginning calendar year 2014 discharges to electronically report certain patient-level data under the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program using the Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA) Category I. While feedback originally was due by January 22, 2013, CMS subsequently extended the comment deadline until February 1, 2013.
