The 2015 Edition Final Test Method has been posted and additional test procedure tools have been added. It can be accessed on the ONC Health IT Certification Program webpage.
The test procedures offer objective guidance to Accredited Testing Laboratories (ATLs) as they conduct Health IT module testing in the ONC Health IT Certification Program, to provide traceability from the certification criterion or criteria to testing activities, and to ensure consistency throughout the certification process.
The new Test Procedures format includes a grid of testing components that the ATLs would use as the test approach for that particular criterion.
The Final Test Method outlines the requirements for evaluating conformance of health IT Modules to the certification criteria defined in the ONC 2015 Edition Final Rule (45 CFR Part 170 Subpart II) published in the Federal Register on October 16, 2015.
