XML Documentation
19
• The 2016 GPRO Web Interface XML Specification link is available on the GPRO Web Interface page on the CMS Website: http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient-Assessment-Instruments/PQRS/GPRO_Web_Interface.html

• Excel can assist with the following:– Creating an Excel Workbook for Patients XML and Patient Medications XML– Importing the XML File– Exporting the Modified Data
• For detailed instruction on how to use Excel, please refer to the following sections of the GPRO Web Interface XML Specification:
Upload Data
25
• The Upload Data screen enables you to upload XML files to update the quality measure data for patients in the TIN
• The screen provides a status indicating whether or not the upload was successful– If the XML file includes format or data errors, you can view the errors by
clicking on the Status hyperlink• You may upload both Patients and Patient Medication data sets
– The Patient Medication data set should only include the measure data for CARE-3 visit dates

XML Elements
27
• Only include XML elements for disease modules, patient care, and preventive care measures that the patient is ranked in
• Any value uploaded in the XML file will overwrite existing values in the GPRO Web Interface database, but– A value in the GPRO Web Interface will not be replaced by a null or blank value in
the XML• If an XML element is included in the file but is an empty tag, the tag will not be
processed• If no data value is included, the tags are not required
XML Elements (cont.)
28
• If an optional XML element is included in the file, the elements must be listed in the specified order. Including XML elements out of order will prevent the file from being processed
• Appendix A – XML Elements for Patients XML File, and Appendix B – XML Elements for Patient Medications XML File in the GPRO Web Interface XML Specification lists all possible XML elements, in the required order, along with the allowable values for each element, for the 2 XML files
XML Elements (cont.)
29
• The XML Declaration must meet the following three requirements or the file will be rejected:– The XML Declaration must be on the first line– The XML Declaration may not contain any other XML elements– For the Patients XML, the XML Declaration must be an exact match for the valid
value specified in Appendix A – XML Elements for Patients XML File of the GPRO Web Interface XML Specification
OR– For the Patient Medications XML, the XML Declaration must be an exact match for
the valid value specified in Appendix B – XML Elements for Patient Medications XML File of the GPRO Web Interface XML Specification

• All data for the patients in the group must follow the identification number and must be included between the opening <web-interface> element and the closing </web-interface> element
• The <group-tin> indicates the start of patient data and represents the Primary TIN for ACOs or TIN for PQRS group practices– The TIN in the file must match the TIN associated with the EIDM account of the
submitter
XML Elements (cont’d)
31
• The opening <patient> element and the closing </patient> element are used for each patient in the file. All data for each patient must be between an opening <patient> and closing </patient> element, but the <patient> elements may be repeated as often as necessary for additional patients
• The Medicare ID is the unique identifier for the patient and is a required data element. It may only be used once per patient in a Patients XML file
• The patient’s First Name, Last Name, Gender, and Date of Birth cannot be updated using XML uploads. These values may only be modified directly in the GPRO Web Interface
• The patient’s Rank cannot be updated using XML nor through the GPRO Web Interface
GPRO WEB INTERFACE REPORTS
32
GPRO Web Interface Reports
