Service Base URL Test Kit

The Service Base URL Test Kit provides a set of tests that verify conformance of Service Base URL publications to data format requirements as described in Conditions and Maintenance of Certification - Application programming interfaces and the ONC HTI-1 Final Rule. Please review the Application Programming Interfaces Certification Companion Guide for additional guidance.

This Test Kit is provided as a tool to help developers identify potential issues or problems with the structure of their Service Base URL publication. Test failures do not necessarily indicate non-conformance to the Conditions and Maintenance of Certification. Use of these tests is not required for the participants of the ONC Health IT Certification Program. Please provide feedback on these tests by reporting an issue in GitHub, or by reaching out to the team on the Inferno FHIR Zulip channel.

Relevant requirements from the Conditions and Maintenance of Certification - Application programming interfaces:

Service Base URL publication:

For all Health IT Modules certified to § 170.315(g)(10), a Certified API Developer must publish, at no charge, the service base URLs and related organization details that can be used by patients to access their electronic health information, by December 31, 2024. This includes all customers regardless of whether the Health IT Modules certified to § 170.315(g)(10) are centrally managed by the Certified API Developer or locally deployed by an API Information Source. These service base URLs and organization details must conform to the following:

• Service base URLs must be publicly published in Endpoint resource format according to the standard adopted in § 170.215(a) (FHIR v4.0.1).
• Organization details for each service base URL must be publicly published in Organization resource format according to the standard adopted in § 170.215(a) (FHIR v4.0.1). Each Organization resource must contain:
  • A reference, in the Organization endpoint element, to the Endpoint resources containing service base URLs managed by this organization.
  • The organization’s name, location, and facility identifier.
• Endpoint and Organization resources must be:
  • Collected into a Bundle resource formatted according to the standard adopted in § 170.215(a) (FHIR v4.0.01) for publication;
  • and Reviewed quarterly and, as necessary, updated.
