Test procedures, test data and test tools will now be available to help testing laboratories and certification bodies test and certify EHR systems under ONC’s HIT Certification Program.
ONC released the first wave of draft test procedures in September and subsequent waves were released every few weeks until late November. ONC went through at least six waves of draft procedures.
