The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) has released updated draft 2015 Edition test procedures for ePrescribing (b3), Direct Project (h1), and Direct Project, Edge Protocol, and XDR/XDM (h2). They have also released the Automated Measure Calculation/Numerator Recording (g1-2) test procedures and test data. All documents can be located at http://confluence.oncprojectracking.org/display/ONCCERT2015/ONC+Health+IT+Certification+Program+2015+Edition+Test+Methods+Home.
Public comments will be accepted through December 31st and we strongly encourage you to review these documents, as some of them have significantly changed from their first iteration. Of particular significance is the following:
170.315(h)(1) Direct Project
§ Must provide evidence that the SUT is able to successfully send encrypted and signed health information to 3 partner HISPs
§ Must provide evidence that the SUT has successfully received encrypted and signed health information from 3 partner HISPs
170.315(h)(2) Direct Project, Edge Protocol, and XDR/XDM
§ Must provide evidence that the SUT is able to successfully send encrypted and signed health information to 3 partner HISPs for each protocol (Direct, Edge, XDR/XDM)
NOTE: The partner HISPs that you use for h1-2 evidence will not be provided by the ONC or necessarily by the Accredited Test Lab (ATL). These are vendor partners that you would need to connect with prior to the certification test and collect the evidence specified in the test procedure. This evidence would then be reviewed and approved by your ATL to determine conformance.
You may submit comments directly to the ONC by clicking on the blue “Submit a Comment” button at the top of each test procedure. You can also view comments already submitted by others by scrolling to the very end of the page. Should you also like to share your thoughts with ICSA Labs, you can do so by responding to this email.
