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 CriteriaRequirement(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.

Measure 2: Clinical Quality Measures Incoming

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 CriteriaRequirement(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.

Total error rate: 1252/521945*100 = 0.24%

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 0.24% .This represents a decrease in both the total number or errored messages and overall error rate from Q3. 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 CriteriaRequirement(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 MessagesNewRx Messages with Diagnosis Included
10929134056

Discussion

Since the Diagnosis elements are not a required component of a NewRx message, as anticipated, only a subset (31.16%) of the NewRx messages included a diagnosis; however, this is an increase in diagnosis usage over the 29.65% of Q3.

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 CriteriaRequirement(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 CodeUnit DescriptionQuantity
C28254Milliliter (ml)4393
C64933Each2
C48477Bottle0
C48521Packet2
C48542Tablet1

Units of Presentation

Discussion

As expected, C28254 (milliliters) is the most commonly sent unit of measure for oral liquid medications. Non-C28254 units were only sent in 0.11% of oral liquid medication messages. This represents an increase in incorrect code usage from Q2.

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 CriteriaRequirement(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 MessagesNewRx Messages with Improper Decimal Format
109291584

Discussion

As expected, the number of NewRx messages sent with inappropriate trailing zeros, or missing leading zeros, occurs rarely in only 0.53% of messages; however, this represents an increase from Q3 which indicates the need for either client education or coded validation in the software.

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 CriteriaRequirement(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.

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 99.967% of Q4.

Three instances of prolonged downtime occurred:

10/14/2022: 13 minutes

10/27/2022: 5 minutes

12/6/2022: 25 minutes

Discussion

As expected, the documentation maintained an uptime of greater than 99.9% at 99.967% for the quarter.

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 CriteriaRequirement(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 Reconciled3
CDA Documents Generated on a Chart after a Reconcile that had an invalid Validation1
Client reported Issues with CDA reconciliation0

Discussion

The use of CDA reconciliation in systems was extremely low compared to Q3, and no issues with the reconciliation of the documents were reported. The drop-off was because of a lack of reconciliations from the specific client that was the source of most reconciliations in previous quarters.

Further work was done near the end of Q4 on CCDA generation being error free, and we anticipate less invalid CCDAs in future quarters.

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

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 registry4867
Rejected by the registry1
Declined to generate6

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.

  • 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 fourth 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 CriteriaRequirement(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

All CDAs

CDA Documents Marked Valid in Period124
CDA Documents Marked Invalid in Period262
% Marked Invalid In Period67%

Webchart Generated CDAs Only

CDA Documents Marked Valid in Period1
CDA Documents Marked Invalid in Period1
% Marked Invalid In Period50%

Discussion

The % marked invalid was high this period, but almost all CDA documents tested were from 3rd parties. As stated in Measure 9, “Work is being done to rectify the issues with the CDA generation in these systems, and to put in place a more immediate notification process when invalid CDAs are generated.” MIE late in the quarter pushed out some updates to improve CDA generation when certain data might be missing and causing CDA validation issues, and anticipate the invalid percentage for to go down in future quarters. We also anticipate in 2023 that we will be generating more CCDA documents within the systems as part of workflow updates in some systems.

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 CriteriaRequirement(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 Exports1
Total Charts Exported43435
Total Export Errors1 (ran out of space)

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 99.9% of cases on the first run. The error was corrected and the rest of the data for the charts was exported.

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 CriteriaRequirement(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 00.00% of nightly and ad-hoc scans. In the remaining 0.00% 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.
