ASSYST to Modernize HHS ONC's eRx and RTPB Standards Testing System

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Health IT Certification Program (Program) maintains an electronic prescribing certification program outlining conformance requirements for Health IT modules. Electronic prescribing (eRx) and Real-Time Prescription Benefits (RTPB) are pivotal for improved efficiency, cost management, patient safety, and overall care quality. 

Under the new contract, ASSYST will be responsible for modernizing the Testing System. This will involve migrating the tool to the ONC Cloud environment, providing Subject Matter Expertise to update use cases, and building the RTPB Tool. Once fully ready, the unified tool will support testing the eRx functionality of all major Health IT Product Vendors.
