II. Real World Testing
Beginning with calendar year 2022, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) requires that vendors of certified health IT demonstrate that certain features related to the interoperability of systems are proven to function as certified in the “real world.” To do so, vendors must publish a plan and corresponding results on an annual basis. Below are the Real World Test Plans and Results sorted by calendar year.
