Drummond RWT Plan Due Date is November 15th
As a requirement of the 21st Century Cures Act Final Rule, health IT developers certified under the 2015 Edition must submit a Real World Test Plan for each of their certified product(s) this year. Drummond has designated a due date of Nov. 15, 2021.
In efforts to assist developers, Drummond created a pre-recorded webinar available here within our customer portal: https://drummondgroup.force.com/hcsportal/s/article/Real-World-Testing It provides additional guidance along with instructions on how to submit your RWT plan. Additional resources regarding RWT and other Cures updates also may be found within our portal.
