Version 2.7 of the Clinical Package Validator enables software developers to improve the depth and automation of clinical document conformance testing.
The new release includes a number of defect fixes and enhancements which will improve the Validator’s ability to effectively support implementers in their conformance assessment activities. Additional updates have been added to the Validator’s documentation.
The Validator has introduced callback functions required by advanced information quality rules. Developers can perform more thorough conformance tests of clinical documents using the latest version of the Agency's information quality rules (published separately and linked below). These rules enable developers to perform in-depth analyses of clinical documents that complement the structural analyses performed by standard template packages. The Validator supports the parallel execution of information quality rules and standard template packages.

Before formally declaring conformance of a software product to the System Operator of the My Health Record system, developers need to perform additional tests to ensure full coverage of all requirements. Please refer to the Clinical Package Validator Product Data Sheet for more detailed information about the Validator’s coverage of requirements and conformance test cases.
