Product Testing

The eHealth Exchange Product Testing Program was developed for product vendors and verifies that the systems developed by vendors that may be used by applicants and participants, comply with the specifications prior to being implemented in the applicant’s and / or participant’s production environment.

Download Product Testing Application

To Apply

Complete both the Product Testing Application and the Product Testing Services Agreement and submit both documents to administrator@ehealthexchange.org.

Once your application is received, eHealth Exchange staff will review it for approval. If approved, we will generate an invoice for testing fees and refer you to begin testing. All testing fees are detailed in the Testing Services Agreement. For ACH & Wire instructions , please contact accounting@ehealthexchange.org.

 

Upon successful completion of product testing, a Product will earn the eHealth Exchange Validated seal. Any organization that onboards to eHealth Exchange using a Validated Product will only need to complete the smoke tests and will have reduced testing fees.

 

eHealth Exchange features all Validated Products online and at events throughout the year.

Product Testing

The Product Testing Program is for product vendors seeking to verify their product against a more rigorous set of tests that will result in their product being considered “eHealth Exchange Validated.” Any applicant or participant that utilizes an eHealth Exchange Validated Product will not need to conduct any of the security testing. This will result in a cost reduction for the applicant.

  • There are 6 required smoke tests and 35 required security tests
  • Vendors must run all provisional test cases. But a FAIL on a provisional test case will not impact the results of the testing.

Product Test Case Documentation

This program is used by vendors who want to get their software “eHealth Exchange Validated” and includes the following:

Product Provisional Security Tests [PDF]

Note:  This is a draft set of provisional test cases that are undergoing further evaluation and comment.  These test cases are ADVISORY only and are subject to change.  The Sequoia Project recommends that vendors conduct product testing against these test cases to assure maximum interoperability and conformance.

IN CASE YOU MISSED THE WEBINAR: WHAT DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR OWN DATA?

It’s one thing to get health data to the right place at the right time; it’s quite another to make sure that data is complete and useful. This is why eHealth Exchange is the only nationwide network whose participants must pass rigorous content validation tests. But standards and regulations on minimum data sets are constantly evolving, thus testing and validations are never done. Learn how you can access testing tools to ensure data quality in all your products, systems and processes to reduce impact of duplicates, reduce clinician burden, and ensure actionable information is available to improve patient outcomes.

In this webinar you will:

  • Understand the difference between the 2015 Edition of Meaningful Use and the United States Common Data for Interoperability (USCDI) requirements
  • Discover best practices for testing your data and make sure you don’t fall behind
  • Receive a demonstration of the testing tools available to eHealth Exchange participants
  • Understand regulatory compliance dates for Certified Health IT
