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)
  • Core items that are missing: b10, d12, d13, g10 (these are basically all the new items for Cures Update)
  • Additional items not part of core: a3, a4, a10, a13, a15, b2, b3, b6, b7, b8, b9, c4, d10, d11, e1, e2, e3, f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, g1, h2

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

Notes

Below is how we derived the items to include in the main barometer:
  • Based on analysis incorporating finalized proposed changes and Cures: drop a6, a7, a8, a11, b4, b5; revise b1, b2, b3, b7, b8, b9, c3, d2, d3, d10, e1, f5, g6, g9; new b10, d12, d13, g10.(note goal is to only list the required items)
