2015 Edition Certification - updates

My Bad… We meant MU3 estimate and NOT MU2.
However, since the estimate many things have changed on the technology
front…

Glad to see the “rush” to sign up!

here’s the changes to 2015 edition EHR criteria that will most likely take effect later this summer after the HHS reviews the comments it just received

That is interesting revision. If anyone is interested, all hybridauth endpoints are OAuth2 and/or OpenID compliant. And most of them would take care of MFA.

looks like we’re still waiting for the final rule to be published in the federal register

started the funding wiki for end of the year donations:

Hi,

Big news on this front.

We now have funding for testing (~15K) and to begin development (another 10K) !!!

Things are a bit complicated since there is a"proposed change" for ONC 2015 that has not yet become official. So there are 2 completion barometers at this time (the first is without the “proposed change” and the second is with the “proposed change”):

The plan is to work on the items that are common between the two barometers for now. Note 2 of the items (yellow) are currently being worked on by volunteers/contributors, but that leaves many other items (green) open. Feel free to take ownership of one if wish to volunteer/contribute work on one or more (just let me know and I’ll update the wiki page). In the more detailed section below the barometer, it shows the owner of items that are actively being worked on and it also gives a very rough workload estimate of each of the green/yellow items:

GO ONC 2015!!

Great to hear things are finally finalized. Thanks for posting.

I took a look and the document is 1244 pages. Is there a plan to divide and conquer what changed and update the MU3 barometer?

hi @RachelEllison, yep, once the dust has settled we can condense to one barometer (currently the lower one of the 2)

Okay, cool. Sounds good.

Can i get an invite to the slack channel?

think this is the sign up you can join on telegram too

Updated completion barometer

Please note that there are pledged funds to cover the testing/certification but only 1/5 of the development. Donate today!

Hi,
Would you please give another update on 2015 Certification progress?
What is the product version that you are planning to pursue the certification for?
I haven’t read through the entire product documentation yet. It would be much appreciated if you could briefly update the status of following areas:

  • USCDI v1
  • Data sharing through FHIR APIs
  • NPCDP SCRIPT Version 20170701 implementation for e-Prescribing
    Thank you very much!
