Avoid (g)(10) Live Testing with Your ONC-ATB
Do you have a Live Test scheduled with your ONC Authorized Testing Body (ATB) between now and early December to test the (g)(10) FHIR-based API? You might be misinformed if you think you are required to do a Live Test.
Integrate with a Pre-Certified Third-Party (g)(10) Application and Avoid Live-Testing
Per ONC rules, all EHRs are considered to be modularly certified. This enables EHRs to achieve the Base criteria by using any one of the three options:
Build the requirements internally and certify with an ONC ATB
Buy an application and test it with the ONC ATB under the 'Relied Upon Software' rule
Buy and integrate with a pre-certified third-party (g)(10) application, and blend it with the application’s CMS ID. No Live Testing is required.
The third option was introduced with the 2015 Edition EHR Certification process to simplify the certification of EHR Modules and reduce their certification burden.
“The 2014 Edition Release 2 final rule discontinued the “Complete EHR” certification concept beginning with the proposed 2015 Edition, adopted an updated standard (ISO/IEC 17065) for the accreditation of ONC-ACBs, and adopted the “ONC Certified HIT” certification and design mark for required use by ONC-ACBs under the ONC Health IT Certification Program.”
