## Helping the Health IT Industry Connect

Welcome to the NIST Health IT Standards and Testing web site. This site provides information about the key health IT testing initiatives underway. It provides an overview of the Health IT Standards Testing Infrastructure as well as educational material onconformance testing, access to Meaningful Use specific information, tools and test methods, direct access to all NIST hosted testing tools and information on Health IT Standards.

## Health IT Testing Infrastructure

NIST Responsibilities for the development of the core health IT testing infrastructure and the Objectives of the Health IT Testing Infrastructure Project.

## ONC Certification

Information about NIST development and maintenance of the conformance test methods (Normative Test Process Documents and Test Tools) that promote alignment with the CMS EHR Meaningful Use/Promoting Interoperability Program technical requirements and standards.

## Tool Portal

The tool portal contains direct links to the various tools provided by NIST.

## Health IT Standards

List of Reports produced for NIST about various Health IT Standards used in NIST conformance testing and the CMS EHR Meaningful Use/Promoting Interoperability Program.
