Approved Test Procedures Version 1.1
This information was published on NIST site on 12/3/2010, and accessed 12/7/2010.
12/3 UPDATE – NIST has published errata for the Approved Test Procedures, Version 1.1. The errata documents contain technical corrections based on public feedback. Test procedures that have errata issued are noted in the table below. [Each errata in table refers to the test procedure above it.]
The Approved Test Procedures, Version 1.1, as well as associated erratum, are effective for use in the ONC Temporary Certification Program on October 24, 2010. Descriptions of the specific changes are found in the Version 1.1 Release Notes.
The Version 1.1 update constitutes the final development update to the Approved Test Procedures. Future updates will be done through a maintenance process and release schedule. Maintenance updates will primarily be based on the need for minor technical corrections or ONC policy direction. Updated test procedures will be released on a 6 month schedule. The next test procedure release (version 2) is anticipated in April, 2011.
The Final Rule and related information is found at http://healthit.hhs.gov.
Questions about the applicability of the initial set of standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria should be directed to ONC at ONC.Certification@hhs.gov. Questions about the test procedures should be directed to NIST at hit-tst-fdbk@nist.gov. Note that NIST will automatically forward to ONC at the address above any questions regarding the applicability of the standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria. Questions about functions and activities of the ATCBs should be directed to ONC at ONC.Certification@hhs.gov
