HCS eMR Real World Testing
Real World Testing is a requirement outlined in the ONC 21st Century Cures Act Final Rule for all health IT developers participating in the ONC Health IT Certification Program. The purpose of this annual Condition and Maintenance of Certification requirement is for Certified Health IT Developers to demonstrate interoperability and functionality of their certified health IT in real world settings and scenarios, rather than in a controlled test environment with an ONC-Authorized Testing Lab. Real World Testing verifies that deployed Certified Health IT continues to perform as intended by conducting and measuring observations of interoperability and data exchange.
HCS EHI Export
This EHI Export Documentation is complete with all required elements and includes sufficient instruction to allow users to export either single patient or patient populations without HCS assistance and at no charge. Exports generated using the methodology outlined above will occur in real time and be in a compressed (ZIP) format containing CSV files with the actual EHI and a readme file with a hyperlink to the most up to date data dictionary for the file format. HCS will update the data dictionary as the database structure evolves with each new version. All information in this documentation is up to date and fully addresses the health IT developer’s EHI Export Requirements.

HCS eMR utilizes multi-factor authentication (MFA) in a variety of ways to enable additional security around several key workflows. MFA can be enabled before log in using Active Directory connections into third party tools for digital verification on a secondary device or by using barcode technology to read an employee badge to verify the person logging in is who they say they are.
Within the HCS Clinicals, MFA can be performed using barcode technology when performing actions that would normally require a signature (ordering or administering medications or signing documentation). MFA can also be performed using third party tools for tokenized verification for ePrescribing of Controlled Substances. HCS eMR uses the latest technologies to ensure our providers are properly credentialed before accessing, entering, or modifying your patient’s health information.
