Justification for Real World Testing Approach

WebChart EHR is a cloud-based, fully-inclusive EHR solution. All certified functionality is delivered in all instances of the product regardless of the care setting, size of practice, or required use cases for a given practice. Each production client is maintained in a separate database; however, the implementation of the environment is identical with the exception of optional increased security protocols that a client may choose to add for enhanced data protection. Additionally, the only differences between the client-facing portion of each system are a result of configuration settings that can be selected at go-live or updated at any time during a client’s contract. Due to this philosophy of product delivery, all certified capabilities may not be actively used in all marketed care settings or may not be actively used in any current client production system. To address the Real World Testing requirements, MIE will be using a hybrid approach. Testing will primarily be conducted using de-identified real patient data from production systems as recorded in database tables and log files. For those criteria for which this live production recording is not available or minimal due to lack of client usage, client reported issues will be tracked and reported in addition to enacting automated tests of the certified functionality in a test system in a production environment. The automated tests will be run daily or weekly as appropriate in a system that is identical in substance and delivery to a client production system with the only exception being live real patient data. This blended approach will allow MIE to prove ongoing maintenance of WebChart EHR’s certified technology regardless of the level of implementation by current clients.

Measures Used in Overall Approach

The following measures outline and justify how each requirement of all criteria to which WebChart EHR is certified will be tested during the 2022 Real World Testing year. Please review the Criteria-Measure Matrix above to review which measure(s) will cover a specific requirement.

Measure 1: Clinical Quality Measures Outgoing

Description

This measure will review WebChart EHR’s ability to measure clinical quality and export the required information. Compliance will be tested both manually by developers and clients as well as automatically by reporting bodies and the Cypress CUV+ test system.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"CQMs – record and export" (§170.315(c)(1))	(c )(1)(i) - Record
(c )(1)(ii) - Export
"CQMs – import and calculate" (§170.315(c)(2))	(c )(2)(ii) - Calculate
"CQMs – report" (§170.315(c)(3))	(c )(3)(i) - Report

Test Methodology

First, MIE will install an instance of Cypress 6+ on our production servers following all of our protocols for maintaining the security of PHI. Cypress CUV+ supports the validation of QRDA reports containing PHI and will be used monthly to validate a random selection of QRDAs from the care settings identified. Any errors identified by Cypress CUV+ will be tracked, reported, and addressed, then followed with testing of a larger sample of files.
Additionally, WebChart EHR has two customers that participate in quarterly attestations using both QRDA I and QRDA III reports. These customers regularly inspect their CQM compliance numbers and will alert MIE to any perceived errors. MIE will then collect and track the attestation results from the reporting bodies including any errors so as to report a success/failure rate.

Results

	Calculations	QRDA I	QRDA III
Client Reported Issues	0	0	1 warning, 0 errors
Submitted Files	N/A	2720	5
Submission Errors	N/A	0	0
Tested Files	N/A	687	12
Testing Errors	N/A	0	0

Discussion

As expected, no errors were found in formatting or coding of the certified measures. One warning was reported by a client where a provider NPI was included in the QRDA III file, but the provider had been removed from the client reported roster. The provider producing the warning departed the practice mid-year causing data to be tracked in WebChart EHR for encounters that the provider performed prior to their departure. This warning was determined to be of no impact to the eCQM certified functionality.

Measure 2: Clinical Quality Measures Incoming

Description

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"CQMs – import and calculate" (§170.315(c)(2))	(c )(2)(i) - Import
(c )(2)(ii) - Calculate
"CQMs – report" (§170.315(c)(3))	(c )(3)(i) - Report

Test Methodology

MIE will install an instance of Cypress 6+ on our production servers following all of our protocols for maintaining the security of PHI. Automated testing will download QRDA I files from Cypress for each certified CQM, import the files to WebChart EHR, calculate the CQMs, and export the QRDA files for Cypress validation of both the content and calculations to verify that the import was successful. Any errors identified by Cypress will be tracked, reported, and addressed.

Results

	QRDA I	QRDA III
Tested Files	702	12
Testing Errors	0	0

Discussion

As expected, no errors were found in formatting or coding of the certified measures.

Measure 3: E-Prescribing Messages Sent and Received

Description

This measure will verify that all supported e-prescribing message types are in use in WebChart EHR, including inbound and outbound message types.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Electronic prescribing" (§170.315(b)(3))	(b)(3)(ii)(A)(1) - NewRx
(b)(3)(ii)(A)(2) - RxChangeRequest, RxChangeResponse
(b)(3)(ii)(A)(3) - CancelRx, CancelRxResponse
(b)(3)(ii)(A)(4) - RxRenewalRequest, RxRenewalResponse
(b)(3)(ii)(A)(5) - RxFill
(b)(3)(ii)(A)(6) - RxHistoryRequest, RxHistoryResponse
(b)(3)(ii)(A)(7) - Status
(b)(3)(ii)(A)(8) - Error
(b)(3)(ii)(A)(9) - Verify

Test Methodology

MIE will report a count of messages for each supported message type:

NewRx
RxChangeRequest
RxChangeResponse
CancelRx
CancelRxResponse
RxRenewalRequest
RxRenewalResponse
RxFill
RxHistoryRequest
RxHistoryResponse
Status
Error
Verify The report will also include a count of outbound messages unable to be transmitted due to connectivity issues or other errors, for each message type. This report will be based on the contents of each client’s local database table of stored messages. MIE will run the report for each client under consideration and aggregate the results.

Results

Message Type	Client Message Counts	Total Count
NewRx	12982	55289	29506	8720	2329	108826
RxChangeRequest	0	96	682	275	0	1053

Total error rate: 1319/520017*100 = 0.25%

Discussion

As expected, all supported message types have a greater than zero total message count, and the total number of messages far exceeds the number of errored messages with a total error rate of 0.25%. Additionally, the number of NewRx messages is significantly greater than the number of RxChangeResponse, CancelRx, and RxRenewalResponse messages.

Measure 4: E-Prescribing Diagnosis Codes

Description

This measure will verify that all diagnosis elements are present in some e-prescribing messages as required by §170.315(b)(3), including inbound and outbound message types.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Electronic prescribing" (§170.315(b)(3))	(b)(3)(ii)(C)(1) - Primary/Secondary Diagnosis

Test Methodology

MIE will report the contents of each stored message in a client’s local database table of stored messages, and counts the inbound and outbound messages that include Diagnosis elements. MIE will run the report for each client under consideration and aggregate the results.

Results

Total NewRx Messages	NewRx Messages with Diagnosis Included
108826	28867

Discussion

Since the Diagnosis elements are not a required component of a NewRx message, as anticipated, only a subset (26.53%) of the NewRx messages included a diagnosis.

Measure 5: E-Prescribing Oral Liquid Units

Description

This measure will verify that prescriptions for medications with an oral liquid form will have a quantity unit of measurement of mL, not cc or English units as outlined in §170.315(b)(3).

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Electronic prescribing" (§170.315(b)(3))	(b)(3)(ii)(E) - Metric Units

Test Methodology

MIE will create a system report that examines the contents of each stored NewRx message in a client’s local database table of stored messages, limiting to oral liquid medications, and provides a count of each distinct quantity unit of measure used. MIE will run the report for each client under consideration and aggregate the results.

Results

Unit Code	Unit Description	Quantity
C28254	Milliliter (ml)	2901
C48155	Gram (g)	4
C48480	Capsule	1
C64933	Each	11

Discussion

As expected, C28254 (milliliters) is the most commonly sent unit of measure for oral liquid medications. Non-C28254 units were only sent in 0.55% of oral liquid medication messages.

Measure 6: E-Prescribing Decimal Format

Description

This measure will verify that numeric amounts in prescriptions include leading zeros before decimal points and do not allow trailing zeros after a decimal point.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Electronic prescribing" (§170.315(b)(3))	(b)(3)(ii)(F) - Decimal Format

Test Methodology

MIE will create a system report that examines the contents of each stored NewRx message in a client’s local database table of stored messages, and provides a count of prescription messages that include inappropriate trailing zeros, and a count of those missing leading zeros. MIE will run the report for each client under consideration and aggregate the results.

Results

Total NewRx Messages	NewRx Messages with Improper Decimal Format
108826	382

Discussion

As expected, the number of NewRx messages sent with inappropriate trailing zeros, or missing leading zeros, occurs rarely in only 0.35% of messages.

Measure 7: CDA Download

Description

This measure will verify that the system can accept a CDA document uploaded into the system, assign it to the appropriate chart in the system as appropriate, and display the document with a standard stylesheet with all sections being accepted and visible.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Clinical information reconciliation and incorporation" (§ 170.315(b)(2))	(b)(2)(ii) - Correct patient.
‘‘Transitions of care" (§ 170.315(b)(1))	(b)(1)(ii) - All paragraphs
(b)(1)(iii) - All paragraphs

Test Methodology

MIE will report on the number of CDA formatted documents uploaded into tracked Webchart systems and the number of upload attempts that failed as stored in client databases and error log files.
MIE will report on the number of requests to view a CDA document within the system, and the number of times it displayed correctly, and when there were errors in display.
Any errors reported by customers or the recipients of their quarterly attestations will be tracked and reported as a baseline. These test assumptions for customer reporting align with the “visual inspection” aspects of the test lab tests.

Results

Total CDA Documents Uploaded	3918
Total CDA Document Upload Failures	0
Total CDA Document Views	215
Total CDA Document View Reported Errors	0
Total Successful CDA Views	215

Discussion

As anticipated, there were no errors in being able to upload and view valid CCDA documents. Currently, client systems generating CCDA documents have a low incidence of viewing the CCDA documents (215/3918 = 5.4%).

Measure 8: Application Access Documentation

Description

This measure will verify that WebChart EHR’s API documentation is publicly and perpetually available. Compliance will be recorded by an external uptime monitor and reported quarterly. Upon request, or in the event of downtime, data can additionally be reported in daily, weekly, or monthly increments.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Application access – patient selection" (§ 170.315(g)(7))	(g)(7)(ii)(A)(1) - Functional Documentation
(g)(7)(ii)(A)(2) - Implementation Requirements
(g)(7)(ii)(A)(3) - Terms of Use
(g)(7)(ii)(B) - Public Link
"Application access – data category request" (§ 170.315(g)(8))	(g)(8)(ii)(A)(1) - Documentation
(g)(8)(ii)(A)(2) - Implementation Requirements
(g)(8)(ii)(A)(3) - Terms of Use
(g)(8)(ii)(B) - Public URL
"Application access—all data request" (§ 170.315(g)(9))	(g)(9)(ii)(A)(i) - Documentation
(g)(9)(ii)(A)(ii) - Implementation Requirements
(g)(9)(ii)(B) - Public URL

Test Methodology

An external uptime monitor will check the availability of all documentation available at https://docs.webchartnow.com/resources/system-specifications/application-programming-interface-api.html . Both up- and downtime will be logged to be reported quarterly. The cause of any downtime and the duration will also be logged In the event of any downtime, the amount of downtime can be reported at daily, weekly, or monthly intervals in addition to the quarterly reports, and the cause of each downtime occurrence will be reported.

Results

The MIE API documentation was available 99.997% of Q1. There was a 3 minute down period on March 17, 2022 due to a connection timeout.

Discussion

As expected, the documentation maintained an uptime of greater than 99.9% at 99.997% for the quarter. The longest downtime period of 3 minutes was less than the acceptable 10 minute duration and was due to a minor issue.

Measure 9: Clinical Information Reconciliation and Incorporation

Description

This measure will verify that the system can take a CCDA transition of care/referral summary formatted according to the standards adopted §170.205(a)(3) and §170.205(a)(4) and read the data for medications, allergies, and conditions from the document, reconcile those into the chart, and that the data is fully incorporated into the chart.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Clinical information reconciliation and incorporation" (§ 170.315(b)(2))	(b)(2)(iii)(A), (B), (C), (D)
(b)(2)(iv) - System Verification

Test Methodology

MIE will report on the number of CDA formatted documents reconciled via the “Froozhie” tool.
Following each reconcile, a temporary CDA for the chart will be created and validated to ensure the reconciled data can be incorporated into a CDA created free of schematic errors (the CDA document will NOT be kept, only the result of the validation). Additionally, any client complaints that data is not being imported correctly from the tool will be tracked, investigated, and reported

Results

CDA Documents Reconciled	321
CDA Documents Generated on a Chart after a Reconcile that had an invalid Validation	2
Client reported Issues with CDA reconciliation	0

Discussion

The use of CDA reconciliation in systems was relatively low, and no issues with the reconciliation of the documents were reported.

The two invalid validations were determined to be a byproduct of client workflow issues discussed in more detail in the Discussion section of Measure 19, not because of any issue with the document reconciliation process.

Measure 10: Transmission to Immunization Registry: Create Content

Description

This measure will verify that the system can generate a VXU conforming to the HL7 v2.5.1 standard, CDC guidance for communication to Immunization Registries and state/local guidance. The VXU messages shall contain information related to the demographics and vaccination administration record.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Transmission to immunization registries" (§ 170.315(f)(1))	(f)(1)(i) - Create Content

Test Methodology

MIE will report from the database the number of successfully sent VXU messages acknowledged as received by the state immunization registry. MIE will also report from the database on the number of records rejected by the state registry due to error, whether the failure was due to registry internal errors, clinical data entry issues or a not well-formed message. Finally, MIE will report from the database the number of messages which declined to be generated due to data entry issues failing message pre-validation.

Results

Successful transmission to registry	988
Rejected by the registry	1
Declined to generate	30

Discussion

As expected, very few messages were rejected by the state registry. There is a small portion of the entered injections which were not able to be transmitted to the state registry due to user data entry issues.

Measure 11: Transmission to Immunization Registries: Query Records

Description

This measure will verify that the system can generate a QBP conforming to the HL7 v2.5.1 standard, CDC guidance for communication to Immunization Registries and state/local guidance. Furthermore, the system shall be able to retrieve, consume and display to the end user the results of any such query.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Transmission to immunization registries" (§ 170.315(f)(1))	f)(1)(ii) - Query Records

Test Methodology

MIE will report the number of successful retrievals of evaluated history and forecasting operations from the database. MIE will report the number of failed retrievals, including those resulting from an internal error in the registry resulting in an inability to consume a response from the database. MIE will manually track, resolve and report issues resulting from WebChart EHR application errors as reported by end users.

Results

Successful retrievals	6570
Failed retrievals	277

Discussion

The errors encountered are less than 5% of the total message retrievals attempted. Of those errors, 36% were due to invalid responses from the state registry. This leaves only about 2.5% of the attempted messages potentially due to an EHR error.

Measure 12: Direct Project: Send

Description

This measure will verify that the system can transmit a Direct project conforming S/MIME to a HISP. The measure will also verify the receipt of those transmissions by verifying the status of the resultant MDN messages.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Direct Project" (§ 170.315(h)(1))	(h)(1)(i) - Send
(h)(1)(ii) - Message Disposition Notification: Processed
(h)(1)(ii) - Message Disposition Notification: Failed

Test Methodology

MIE will report from log files the number of messages transmitted. MIE will report from logs the number of messages which failed to be transmitted whether due to internal error, external failures or inability to verify trust of the recipient. MIE will report from logs the number of Processed MDN messages received. MIE will report from logs the number of Failed MDN messages received.

Results

Messages Transmitted	0
Failed to transmit	0
Failed MDNs received	0

Discussion

In this time frame, no outgoing messages were processed. Additional testing as well as client education will be investigated to provide more robust data in future quarters.

Measure 13: Direct Project: Receive

In the case where insufficient real-world data is available, data resulting from regular testing with DirectTrust shall be included in the reporting.

Results

Messages submitted to HISP via SMTP	0
Number of XDM packages processed	63

Discussion

As expected, there was very low usage. XDM packages that were processed included packages from standard regular testing.

Measure 18: Data Export

Description

This measure will verify that a user can use WebChart EHR’s Data Export Tool to pull down groups of patient data from a Webchart EHR system.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Data export" (§ 170.315(b)(6))	(b)(6)(i)
(b)(6)(ii)(A)-(F)

(b)(6)(iv)

Test Methodology

MIE will report from the event log database tables a series of occurrences that indicates use of the WebChart EHR Data Export Tool:

Event logs of the report to find all patients for Document Export being called.
Event logs of CDA documents being generated within a certain short time period following the report. MIE will track customer reports of data expected to be in mass data export downloads that did not download as failures.

Results

Number of times EHR Data Export Tool was used: 0

Discussion

During the first quarter, no clients used the EHR Data Export Tool. Additional testing will be investigated to provide more robust data in future quarters.

Measure 19: CDA Validation

Description

This measure will verify that CDAs both created by and received by a Webchart EHR system pass basic CDA validation.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
‘‘Transitions of care" (§ 170.315(b)(1) Cures Update)	(b)(1)(ii)(A)
"Data export" (§ 170.315(b)(6))	(b)(6)(ii), (A)-(F)

Test Methodology

All CDAs stored within a Webchart EHR will be run through schema validation regardless of the document’s origin. Documents may originate within the WebChart EHR system or be imported from a third party application of manual upload. The schema validator will be installed within the MIE production environment to ensure the security of all PHI contained in the documents. Only results of the validation will be made available, document content will not be revealed to developers during testing.

The number of valid vs. invalid CDAs and their sources will be reported.

Results

CDA Documents Marked Valid in Period	2087
CDA Documents Marked Invalid in Period	147
% Marked Invalid In Period	6.5%

All of the documents were created by client systems. There were no external CDAs sent into these systems.

Discussion

The number of invalid CDAs generated were higher than anticipated. These invalid CDA documents were primarily caused by erroneous workflows that generated documents with empty/missing location data. Since these workflows were not anticipated, the proper nullFlavor was not implemented in the output. The nullFlavors have since been implemented and patched to prevent future invalid documents from this cause.

Measure 20: Patient Data requests VIA API

Description

This measure will verify that the API as outlined in WebChart EHR’s documentation is functional. A valid request for patient information must provide that information.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
"Application access – patient selection" (§ 170.315(g)(7))	(g)(7)(i) - Query processing and response
"Application access – data category request" (§ 170.315(g)(8))	(g)(8)(i)(A) - Return CCDS data
(g)(8)(i)(B) - Request response
"Application access—all data request" (§ 170.315(g)(9))	(g)(9)(i)(A)(1) - Demonstrate API
(g)(9)(i)(A)(3) - Data Classes
(g)(9)(i)(B) - Data Return

Test Methodology

To address the overall automated testing, the following test requests will be made daily against a test system in a production environment.

Issue a request in the browser to search for a patient (patient selection)
Issue a request in the browser to request demographics of a patient (data category request)
Issue a request using the export tool described in the documentation. All API requests made in production systems are recorded in log files. The number of requests logged will be reported against the number of issues with API functionality that are reported.

Results

Production Exports	1
Total Charts Exported	80397
Total Export Errors	20

Discussion

As expected, the production use of the API was rare, but the total number of export errors was minimal. Patient chart exports were successful in 99.98% of cases.

Measure 21: Web Content Accessibility

Description

This measure will verify that all certified content in the patient portal will maintain accessibility conformance as outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

Associated Certification Criteria

Certification Criteria	Requirement(s)
	(e)(1)(i) - Web Content Accessibility

Test Methodology

MIE will conduct monthly third-party production accessibility scanning as well as automated nightly internal accessibility scanning of a test system in a production environment.

Results

The internal accessibility scanning of a pre-production test system identified 0 urgent and 0 secondary non-conformance issues in 98.76% of nightly and ad-hoc scans. In the remaining 1.24% of scans only secondary issues were uncovered all of which were eliminated prior to code changes reaching production systems. Production accessibility scanning identified 0 urgent and 0 secondary non-conformance issues for the entire quarter.

Discussion

As expected no urgent non-conformance issues were identified in either live production or pre-production test systems. In the rare occurrence that a secondary non-conformance issue was identified in testing, it was addressed and eliminated prior to reaching live production systems.
