ONC’s Open Test Method Development Pilot Program builds on our continued commitment to collaborate with health IT stakeholders and to enhance stakeholder engagement in ONC’s Health IT Certification Program. This pilot program is open to all stakeholders willing to contribute their expertise towards the development of the test methods that could ultimately be used by accredited testing laboratories (ATLs) for health IT testing. This pilot program is designed to provide stakeholders with an expanded opportunity to apply their in-the-field experience to test method development (including test procedures, test data, and test tools) to support improvements to the nation’s health care system.

The pilot program will be limited to two 2014 Edition EHR certification criteria and, at its conclusion, will be evaluated for feasibility, efficiency, and scalability relative to future certification criteria editions.

 

The pilot program will follow the process below and aims to complete the development of two test methods by October 31, 2014
