ONC Certification

Regard's Health IT Module is certified under the ONC 2015Cures Update criteria, supporting interoperability, EHI export,and secure authentication.

170.315(d)(13) Multi-Factor Authentication

The Regard solution relies on the electronic medical record (EMR)'s two-factor authentication protocol known as Smart on FHIR.

EHI Export Overview

EHI (electronic health information) Export is a feature that allows users to export electronic health information (EHI) from certified health IT modules, such as EHRs, in a computable and electronic format.

EHI Export is one of the requirements of the Promoting Interoperability Program, which aims to encourage the adoption and meaningful use of certified EHR technology (CEHRT).

EHI Export has two components: a single-patient EHI export and a patient population EHI export.

  • It supports single patient EHI access requests, which can help patients obtain a copy of their health records in a timely and computable manner.
  • It supports the entire patient population EHI export, which can help health IT developers and health
    systems transfer or migrate data to another system or product.

EHI Export Benefits

Regard meets the certification criterion §170.315(b)(10) Electronic Health Information export by implementing the FHIR Export for Single Patient and Bulk Export.

A user can perform an electronic health information (EHI) export:

For a single patient

  • Can export at any time the user chooses.
  • Can operate without creating a subsequent support ticket for developer assistance.
  • Includes all the EHI for a single patient.
  • Is electronic and in a computable format.
  • Includes a publicly accessible hyperlink to the export's format, which allows any user to directly access the export file information without preconditions or additional steps.
  • The EHI export file format describes the structure and syntax of how the EHI is exported (but not
    the EHI itself).
  • Users can use the export format documentation to process EHI after Regard has exported it and to
    facilitate its movement to other systems.

For a single patient

  • Includes all the EHI for a patient population.
  • Is electronic and in a computable format.
  • Includes a publicly accessible hyperlink to the export's format, which allows any user to directly access the export file information without preconditions or additional steps.
  • The EHI export file format describes the structure and syntax of how the EHI is exported (but not the EHI itself).
  • When healthcare providers switch to health IT systems, they can request Regard action or support for successful migration of patient data.
  • Users can use the export format documentation to process EHI after Regard has exported it and to
    facilitate its movement to other systems.

Regard can limit users who perform an EHI export

Only administrators have the ability to perform the export.

Single-patient vs. patient population EHI export

Single-patient EHI export enables a user of Regard to export the selected EHI for a single patient at any time the user chooses, without the developer's assistance.

Patient population EHI export enables Regard to create an export of all the EHI for a patient population upon request.

Data elements and format of the EHI export

The data elements that are to be included are more than just the USCDI. The data elements that should be included are what is considered part of the Designated Record Set. See Table 2 starting on page 17 of the AHIMA EHI Task Force Report for other data elements considered PHI that should be part of the export:

All Regard export files use the CSV format.

Path for exported EHI

Users can download the exported data to any folder of their choice on their system.

How to request and access the EHI export

Users can request and access the EHI export through the user interface of Regard for single patient export. Administrators may place a request to Regard to download total patient population export.

Measurement/Metric

Description

Success rate in completing EHI data export

This metric measures the overall success rate through internal testing of exporting EHI via the export feature on Regard's platform. We will conduct internal testing as we do not expect our customers to use this functionality during the testing year.

Justification

Success rate in completing EHI data export

This metric measures the success rate through internal testing of exporting EHI via the export feature on Regard's platform. This is an appropriate metric because it proves the validity of the EHI export functionality.

Expected Outcome

Success rate

The expected outcome is that there is a high (close to 100%) success rate that enables users to create an export file with patient electronic health information.

Our EHI export functionality will create an export file, execute at any time, limit the ability of users who can create export, and is in an electronic and computable format.

Test Plan

We don't anticipate having customers using the b10 EHI export functionality. We are doing internal testing with synthetic data in our test (demo) environment.

In order to measure the success rate of the EHI export functionality, we will conduct internal testing given that our customers do not use this feature. We will conduct internal tests on our engineering team to ensure that we can export all EHI. We will select 5 synthetic patients across test customers and report back the success rate based on X/5, X being the number of successful EHI exports that we conduct out of the 5 that we attempt.
