Colleagues,

... Starting in 2011, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) will begin the distribution of $17 billion to healthcare providers who can demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health record systems...

... The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has the official role of creating testing tools for health-related information technology products.  These tools will determine whether they meet technical standards and meaningful use criteria for eligibility under the economic stimulus law and related regulations..

...On March 17the, NIST released the first of four installments of new health IT test method and related software. The agency has created a new Web site describing testing methodologies for  electronic health records...

... The site provides information about the key health IT testing initiatives underway, including:

    * an overview of the Health IT Standards Testing Infrastructure,

    * information and access to the test methods to meet meaningful use technical requirements and standards,

   * access to the Health IT Implementation Testing and Support website,

   * as well as educational material on conformance and interoperability testing.
