Welcome to the NIST Syndromic Surveillance Validation Suite

The NIST Syndromic Surveillance Validation Suite is intended for certifying 2014 Edition Meaningful Use EHR technology. The validation suite provides functionality to test EHR senders. The Syndromic Surveillance test tool covers the §170.314(f)(3) Transmission to public health agencies - Syndromic Surveillance Test Procedure. Use the Context-based Validation Tab for Meaningful Use certification testing.

A Google Group (HL7v2 Syndromic Testing) has been established for discussion/questions of the Implementation Guide, testing tool and testing issues. No membership is required. A google account is required for posting.
