Real-World Testing
As part of the Conditions and Maintenance of Certification introduced with the 21st Century Cures Act Final Rule, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) adopted an annual requirement for developers of certified health IT to demonstrate the successful interoperability of their certified software in real world use. Real World Testing is demonstrated through annual Real World Testing plans outlining how the certified developer will be demonstrating the successful interoperability for each pertinent certified capability, and corresponding Real World Testing results.
