This document describes the process for assessing a Clinical Information System (CIS), including repositories for conformance to the relevant specifications when connecting and interacting with the My Health Record (MHR) system.
Conformance assessment provides assurance that a software implementation adheres to digital health specifications. It provides users of conforming implementations confidence that an implementation will behave as expected, perform functions in a known manner, has interfaces or formats that adhere to the specifications and will interoperate with the My Health Record system.
A conformance assessment scheme describes how a software system will be assessed and tested for conformance to a digital health specification. It also describes software tools and documentation that support conformance assessment activities.
