Helping the Health IT Industry Connect
Welcome to the NIST Health IT Standards and Testing web site. This site provides information about the key health IT testing initiatives underway. It provides an overview of the Health IT Standards Testing Infrastructure, information and access to the test method to meet meaningful use technical requirements and standards, access to the Health IT Implementation Testing and Support website, as well as educational material on conformance testing. Information on other NIST health IT activities can be found on the NIST Health IT Website.

Health IT Testing Infrastructure
NIST is responsible for leading the development of the core health IT testing infrastructure that will provide a scalable, multi-partner, automated, remote capability for current and future testing needs.
-
Test Method for Health Information Technology
Initial Set of Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria for EHR Technology (45 CFR Part 170 Subpart C)
NIST is developing the conformance test method (test procedures, test data, and test tools) to ensure compliance with the meaningful use technical requirements and standards.
-
What is Conformance Testing?
NIST provides the necessary conformance tests, test tools and techniques to advance healthcare information technology standards that are complete and testable.
