ONC Certification (g)(10) Standardized API Test Kit v3.7.0

The ONC Certification (g)(10) Standardized API Test Kit v3.7.0 provides several test and user experience improvements based on community feedback.

As a minor version release, this update incorporates the following test change that may cause systems that passed v3.6.0 tests to now fail:

• Relax MustSupport requirements for Patient's previous name and previous address (#416). The HL7® Cross-Group Projects workgroup, through the US Core 'Patch' Process ticket FHIR-40299, approved patching the US Core Patient Profile in US Core 3.1.1, US Core 4.0.0, and US Core 5.0.1. As a result:

  • For US Core v3.1.1
    • Remove attestation 9.10.12
    • Remove Patient.address.period from Patient's MustSupport test 4.2.09
    • Add these ONC USCDI requirements to Patient's MustSupport test 4.2.09
      • Patient.address.use or Patient.address.period.end
      • Patient.name.use or Patient.name.period.end
  • For US Core v4.0.0 and v5.0.0,
    • Remove Patient.address.period from Patient's MustSupport test 5.2.09 and 6.2.09
    • Remove these ONC USCDI requirements from Patient's MustSupport test 5.2.09 and 6.2.09
      • Patient.address.use
      • Patient.name.period.end
      • Patient.name.use
    • Add these ONC USCDI requirements to Patient's MustSupport test 5.2.09 and 6.2.09
      • Patient.address.use or Patient.address.period.end
      • Patient.name.use or Patient.name.period.end

  We consider this change as one which could cause a system which previously passed to fail because

  • A new test for ONC USCDI requirements is added for US Core v3.1.1
  • If server uses Patient.address.period for previous address, Inferno used to test MustSupport at Patient.address.period but now tests for Patient.address.period.end.
