SOAPware exports the Clinical Quality Measure file in XML format.  At this time, CMS does not require that the user upload the XML document during the attestation process.  However, this may be a requirement in future Meaningful Use Stages.

The XML export contains the following information:

• Providers NPI Number
• Selected reporting period
• Clinical Quality Measure NQF or PQRI number
• Eligible Instances/Denominator
• Meets Performance Instances/Numerator
• Performance Exclusion Instances (*Note: SOAPware does not report exclusions at this point in time.  This number will always be 0)
• Performance Not Met Instances
• Reporting Rate
• Performance Rate (the Numerator divided by the Denominator)

Please see the above screenshot for a visual explanation of how to read the XML document.  The above screenshot can be resized for easier viewing (simply click on the picture to view a larger version).
