Conformance Testing Process

The QHIN Conformance Testing Process outlined in the QHIN Onboarding & Designation SOP leverages the Sequoia Interoperability Testing Platform (“ITP”), built around the specifications defined in the QHIN Technical Framework (QTF) Version 1.1, information outlined in the Common Agreement and relevant SOPs, and related test materials adopted by the RCE.

The Sequoia ITP verifies that a QHIN’s or Applicant QHIN’s system both complies with all specifications and requirements of the QTF and has the ability to interoperate with other QHINs. The Sequoia ITP supports the following: 

• Applicant QHINs during the Onboarding process;
• Designated QHINs who wish to test new technology or retest as a condition of continued participation in the TEFCA; and
• Vendors who wish to have their product(s) validated as QHIN compliant prior to a QHIN Application. 

QHIN implementations will be tested using a set of software tools, test data, and procedures managed by the Sequoia Project as described in the documentation found on this page. Test cases, test data, and the tooling may be updated as issues are identified over time.
