Completion Barometer

  • This barometer is tracking the progress of the 2015 ONC Ambulatory EHR Certification (ie. Stage 3 MU) project. See below Certification Criteria section for criteria titles and further details on progress tracking.
a1* a2* a5* a9* a12* a14* b1 b10 c1 c2 c3 d1* d2* d3* d4* d5* d6* d7* d8* d9* d12* d13* g2 g3 g4 g5 g6 g7* g8 g9 g10 h1


PENDING (comparison of items and barometer with partner group; ensure working towards Cures requirements)

Legend Description:
  • Not Yet Analyzed - Has not been analyzed yet.
  • Not Ready - Not ready for certification testing and waiting for somebody to work on this.
  • Not Ready (actively working on) - Not ready for certification testing, but are actively working on this.
  • Ready - Ready for certification testing.
  • Failed Test - Issues found during certification testing.
  • Certification Pass - Passed certification and in official codebase.
  • * - Self-declaratiion (this involves self-declaration rather than formal testing with the testing body).

Instance Specific Requirements Tracking

This will track the settings that a instance needs to use to fulfill ONC 2015.
  • Required global settings
  • Administration->Globals->Security->Hash Algorithm for Authentication->SHA512 (ONC 2015)
  • Administration->Globals->Security->Hash Algorithm for Token->SHA512 (ONC 2015)
  • Administration->Globals->Logging->Enable Audit Log Encryption->On
  • To ensure optimal security, users need to run their OpenEMR client web browser on a end-user device that encrypts entire drive(s) with AES based encryption algorithm.
  • To ensure accurate time, server will need to set up a Network Time Protocol server that supports version 4 Network Time Protocol (NTP) as defined by RFC 5905..
  • For users NOT NEEDING ONC 2015, then would consider setting following global setting to improve performance
  • Administration->Globals->Security->Audit Logging SELECT Query->Off
  • Administration->Globals->Security->Printing Log Option->No logging

  • Dependency items also needed are b10, d1-d9, d12, d13, g3-g6(g6 is considered completed when b1 and b6 is completed)
  • Final listing (above 2 lists combined): a1, a2 or a3(will do a2), a5, a9, a12, a14, b1(cures version), b6, b10, c1, c2, c3, d1-d9, d12, d13, e3, g1 or g2(will do g2), g3-g6(g6 is considered completed when b1 and b6 is completed), g7, g9(cures version), g10(cures), h1 or h2(will do h1)
  • Final adjustment after discussion with testing body: e3 not needed, g8 is needed, no more gap certification eligibility
  • The real Final listing (above 2 lists integrated): a1, a2 or a3(will do a2), a5, a9, a12, a14, b1(cures version), b6, b10, c1, c2, c3, d1-d9, d12, d13, g1 or g2(will do g2), g3-g6(g6 is considered completed when b1 and b6 is completed), g7, g8, g9(cures version), g10(cures), h1 or h2(will do h1)
