As the U.S. government shutdown blocks access to official ONC testing infrastructure, Health Samurai provides a free public Inferno (g)(10) Test Kit for developers working on ONC §170.315(g)(10) certification and US Core compliance.
Access the free Inferno (g)(10) Test Kit
What this provides
The ONC Certification (g)(10) Standardized API Test Kit is a critical testing tool designed to validate health IT systems against the Standardized API for Patient and Population Services requirements mandated under the ONC Certification Program. This test kit verifies adherence to key elements such as SMART App Launch, US Core profiles, Bulk Data access, and OAuth2-based secure authorization.
With monthly updates ensuring the latest regulatory standards are met, the test kit also includes a simulated conformant FHIR API for demonstration and validation purposes. Health Samurai’s public Inferno (g)(10) Test Kit is available to all users immediately.
Benefits of using the Inferno (g)(10) Test Kit from Health Samurai include:
- Immediate, uninterrupted testing access even during government service disruptions
- High maturity and comprehensive test coverage of ONC Certification (g)(10) requirements
- Support for SMART App Launch standards, US Core profiles, Bulk Data export, and robust API capability validation
Health Samurai remains committed to empowering developers in healthcare interoperability, assuring your EHR systems remain compliant and certified even in challenging times.
What you should understand
This is technical validation infrastructure, not a certification authority. Passing these tests documents conformance but does not replace official ONC certification. When government services resume, you will still need formal certification runs through official channels. Use this for development validation and pre-certification readiness, not as a substitute for required approval processes.
Public infrastructure carries inherent capacity limits. During high usage periods, you may experience performance degradation or reduced availability. We operate this as best-effort contingency infrastructure without service level guarantees.
The included simulated FHIR API provides clean validation scenarios but won't expose the implementation complexities, edge cases, or performance patterns you'll encounter with production EHR systems. Test against real systems before assuming production readiness.
You are responsible for capturing and maintaining your own test results and audit trails. The system does not provide persistent reporting infrastructure or compliance documentation storage.
**Support model **
Please report any issues with this set of tests in the issues section of the repository. We'll help distinguish between legitimate implementation issues and potential test kit problems, though response times depend on request volume.
This instance exists primarily as contingency infrastructure during government disruptions. For routine certification work when official ONC services are available, use those systems since results feed directly into approval workflows.
Health Samurai maintains this resource to prevent certification pipeline blockages during service interruptions, keeping interoperability work moving when official channels are unavailable.
