Home > Help Center > ModuleMD 2025 Real World Testing Plan
This is the Real World Testing plan for CY 2025 for ModuleMD’s certified EHR solution.
As ONC has stated in its rule, “The objective of real-world testing is to verify the extent to which certified health IT deployed in operational production settings is demonstrating continued compliance to certification criteria and functioning with the intended use cases as part of the overall maintenance of a health IT’s certification.” In accordance with the ONC’s recommendation, ModuleMD intends to conduct Real World Testing to verify that our Certified EHR continues to perform as intended with regard to interoperability and data exchange criteria. This test plan focuses on demonstrating that certified capability is utilized in real world care settings.
Health IT Developers have been given maximum flexibility to develop innovative plans and measures for Real World Testing. As we develop a plan to execute Real World Testing, the overall complexity of the workflows and use cases within the care settings are being considered in which ModuleMD’s products are deployed. We have included our milestones and timeline for completing Real World Testing below.
This Real-World Testing plan is complete with all required elements, including measures that address all certification criteria and care settings. All information in this plan is up to date and fully addresses the health IT developer’s Real World Testing requirements

Real World Testing is intended to verify that deployed Certified Health IT continues to perform as intended by demonstrating that certified capability for interoperability and data exchange is successfully utilized in the real world. All measures reasonably align with the elements within the Real World Testing plan, the scope of the certification, the types of settings in which the certified health IT is marketed, and other factors relevant to the implementation of the certified Health IT Module(s). Each element within the plan is relevant to the overall strategy for meeting the Real World Testing condition and maintenance of Certification requirements. In each measurement description, we elaborate specifically on our justification for choosing this measure and the expected outcomes. Each measurement was chosen to best evaluate compliance with the certification criteria and interoperability of exchanging electronic health information (EHI) within the certified EHR.
For each measurement/metric, describe the elements below:
We will be using reporting methods and screenshots to capture and demonstrate compliance. This methodology uses the logging or reporting capabilities of the EHR to examine functionality performed in the system over a given interval. This measurement was chosen to best evaluate compliance with the certification criteria and interoperability of exchanging electronic health information (EHI) within the certified EHR. In instances where no or little evidence exists due to lack of adoption of a certified measure or other reasons, we will demonstrate the requirements in a semi-controlled setting in a production site, otherwise known as a “real world” environment.
ModuleMD is an electronic medical record system that supports medical clinics in an ambulatory care setting. All measures outlined in the Real World Testing are designed for and will be performed within the ambulatory care setting.
