Real World Testing Plan:

Under the ONC Health IT Certification Program (Certification Program), health IT developers are required to conduct Real World Testing of their certified health IT (45 CFR 170.405). The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) issues Real World Testing resources to clarify health IT developers’ responsibilities for conducting Real World Testing, to identify topics and specific elements of Real World Testing that ONC considers a priority, and to assist health IT developers in developing their Real World Testing plans.

Lightning Step is committed to meeting and exceeding the requirements set by the ONC program rules. Beginning in 2025, Real World Testing will occur annually. Here is the annual Real World Testing Plan submitted to ONC.
