Free ONC Certification Test Kit Available During Government Shutdown
Free ONC G10 test kit available during government shutdown - Health Samurai
Summary
Health Samurai provides a free Inferno (g)(10) Test Kit for developers, addressing the difficulty of accessing official testing infrastructure due to U.S. government shutdowns. This tool is designed for validating compliance with the ONC Certification Program and US Core standards.
Details
This test kit serves as a critical validation tool, designed to verify that health IT systems adhere to the requirements of the Standardized API for Patient and Population Services mandated by the ONC Certification Program. It validates adherence to key elements such as SMART App Launch, US Core profiles, Bulk Data access, and OAuth2-based secure authorization. Health Samurai offers this public kit to ensure that developers maintain uninterrupted testing access even during government service disruptions. This helps organizations keep their EHR systems compliant and ready for certification. However, users must understand that this is technical validation infrastructure, not a certification authority; formal ONC certification remains required through official channels. The included simulated FHIR API provides clean validation scenarios but does not replicate the implementation complexities or edge cases encountered with production EHR systems. Developers are responsible for capturing and maintaining their own test results and audit trails, and must test against real systems before assuming production readiness.
