approved test tools and test procedures
for certification criteria adopted by the
Secretary, that ONC would publish a
notice of availability in the Federal
Register and identify the approved test
tools and test procedures on the ONC
Web site.
In the 2015 Edition final rule, the
Secretary adopted additional and
revised certification criteria (80 FR
62601) and on February 4, 2016, the
National Coordinator approved test
tools and test procedures for testing
Health IT Modules for the majority of
the 2015 Edition certification criteria
under the ONC Health IT Certification
Program. ONC then published the
‘‘Notice of Availability: 2015 Edition
Test Tools and Test Procedures
Approved by the National Coordinator
for the ONC Health IT Certification
Program’’ in the Federal Register (81 FR
6022). However, that publication of
approved test tools and test procedures
did not include the 2015 Edition
certification criteria specifically related
to electronic clinical quality
measurement (eCQM) in order to allow
for alignment of those testing tools and
test procedures with the timing of the
CMS annual update of the eCQM
specifications.
The National Coordinator has recently
approved the test tools and test
procedures for testing Health IT
modules for four 2015 Edition
certification criteria related to clinical
quality measurement. The approved test
tools and test procedures for the 2015
Edition ‘‘Clinical Quality Measures—
record and export’’ certification
criterion (§ 170.315(c)(1)), ‘‘Clinical
Quality Measures—import and
calculate’’ certification criterion
(§ 170.315(c)(2)), ‘‘Clinical Quality
Measures—report’’ certification
criterion (§ 170.315(c)(3)), and the
‘‘Clinical Quality Measures—filter’’
certification criterion (§ 170.315(c)(4))
are identified on the ONC Web site at:
https://www.healthit.gov/policyresearchers-implementers/2015-editiontest-method. The test tools and test
procedures that were previously
approved by the National Coordinator
(81 FR 6022) for the 2015 Edition
certification criteria are also available
for review at the Web site listed above.
