Drummond Group, an ONC-Authorized Test Lab and Certification Body, has launched the ONC Compliance Learning Series, a three-month educational program designed to help health IT developers build a comprehensive understanding of the health IT testing and certification process required by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC).

Why it matters

As healthcare customers, CMS programs, and RFPs increasingly require ONC certification, many health IT development teams lack foundational knowledge of the certification process, leading to failed test attempts, project delays, and costly rework. This new program aims to address this industry challenge by helping developers build essential knowledge ahead of testing and certification.

The details

The ONC Compliance Learning Series delivers six bi-weekly sessions over three months, led by an experienced ONC Test Proctor, Certified Project Management Professional, and HL7 Certified FHIR Foundational Implementer. Participants receive instruction on health IT standards, ONC test procedures, compliance guides, and test tools. Developers can choose between a general compliance or FHIR-specific track based on their certification goals.

  • The ONC Compliance Learning Series is available now.
  • The program runs for three months, with six bi-weekly sessions.
