Real World Testing Overview

EPOWERdoc submits annual Real World Testing plans and results under the ONC Health IT Certification Program, keeping our certified health IT transparent and compliant.

Under the ONC Health IT Certification Program (Certification Program), health IT developers are required to conduct Real World Testing of their certified health IT (45 CFR 170.405). The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) issues Real World Testing resources to clarify health IT developers' responsibilities for conducting Real World Testing, to identify topics and specific elements of Real World Testing that ONC considers a priority, and to assist health IT developers in developing their Real World Testing plans.

Health IT developers have maximum flexibility to develop innovative plans and measures for Real World Testing. Testing plans must be submitted once per year for each year of Real World Testing.

Annual submission — one plan per year of Real World Testing, per ONC requirements.
Flexible approach — developers determine innovative plans based on care setting complexity and use cases.
Results published — EPOWERdoc publishes test results for full transparency with clients and regulators.
