Calling all Beta Testers: New Opportunity to help ONC Update the Inferno Test Tool

Beginning March 2022, Inferno, ONC’s test tool for the “standardized API for patient and population services” certification criterion, will support beta testing for the Health Level Seven (HL7®) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) US Core Implementation Guide (IG) 4.0.0. This new version is expected to include several enhancements from version 3.1.1 and we’re looking for early feedback from health IT developers who are interested in using the new version in the future as part of Inferno testing. We’d also note, the US Core IG 4.0.0 is currently under consideration for the 2022 Standards Version Advancement Process (SVAP), and we encourage public feedback on whether ONC should approve the 4.0.0 version for use in ONC’s Health IT Certification Program (you can comment via the SVAP link above).
