Multi-Party FHIR Testing
Collaborative Testing at Scale
Real systems. Real partners. Real interoperability—delivered through Drummond‑managed testing for priority FHIR use cases.
Purpose‑Driven Testing That Move the Market
FHIRplace multi-party testing bring payers, providers, developers, and agencies together to validate interoperability with each other’s FHIR implementations for particular use cases, such as Da Vinci ePA or Payer-to-Payer Data Exchange, and others.
FHIRplace participants can begin and complete testing at their own pace and choose if and when they want to enroll in public tracks, such as Electronic Prior Authorization (ePA) or Payer‑to‑Payer exchange (PDEX).
Private on-demand or invitation-only testing tracks offered by sponsor organizations are a cost-effective and efficient way to test and demonstrate interoperability for a particular FHIR standard, custom use case, or to enable rapid partner onboarding and conformance.
What to Expect
Commitment
For multi-party interoperability testing, expect one senior technical person to commit approximately 2-3 hours per week over a 6-8 week period.
Flexibility
Participants can begin and complete testing at their own pace as Drummond rolls out test cases and matches them with other participants. No need to wait for pre-scheduled testing windows.
Automation
Integrate a lightweight FHIRplace client once, and future testing runs largely hands‑free with automated test execution and reporting.
Not Your Traditional Interoperability Testing
Traditional FHIR testing struggles to advance adoption or demonstrate genuine interoperability. That’s why FHIRplace takes a different approach:
- Not a one‑day Connectathon. FHIRplace’s continuous, flexible testing approach allows for issue identification, troubleshooting, retest, and documented assurance—on your schedule, not a conference calendar.
- Not a self‑directed test tool. Drummond manages scheduling, partner matching, and oversight.
- Not a sandbox. Testing uses pre-release FHIR implementations in an environment that mimics real-world variability.
- Not a one‑and‑done test. FHIRplace supports and encourages developers to maintain interoperability assurance through periodic retesting, as systems and FHIR IGs evolve.
- Not a “hurry up and wait” program. Begin testing when you’re ready, as test cases become available and partners are matched.
Why Participate in Multi-Party Testing
Participating in FHIRplace multi-party testing lets your team verify real workflows with peer systems while shaping the standards that power the next wave of interoperability—on your timeline, not a conference calendar.
- Gain advanced quality assurance by exercising workflows with real partners and live endpoints.
- Influence the test case scope and help shape future Implementation Guide improvements.
- Demonstrate market readiness early, building trust with customers and regulators.
- Network with peers who are equally invested in scaling FHIR across the ecosystem.
