2025 Testing Plan Summary
Antimicrobial Use and Resistance (AUR) Reporting Test Plan
The objective of ONC certification criterion 170.315(f)(6) is electronic transmission of Antimicrobial Use and Resistance (AUR) data to NHSN. Premier will evaluate this objective using the following metrics for TheraDoc customers who report AUR data to NHSN:
Metric | Description |
AR numerator submissions to NHSN | Monthly counts of successful and failed AR numerator submissions to NHSN |
AR denominator submissions to NHSN | Monthly counts of successful and failed AR denominator submissions to NHSN |
AU summary submissions to NHSN | Monthly counts of successful and failed AU summary submissions to NHSN |
Each metric will provide de-duplicated aggregate counts that consider all eligible NHSN-defined locations and acute care settings as specified in the NHSN AUR protocol. De-duplication accounts for submission failures unrelated to document content, such as DirectCDA outages. For example, if a given numerator or denominator record was unsuccessfully submitted 2 times before being accepted, it is counted as 1 successful submission for the relevant reporting period. Similarly, if a given numerator or denominator record was unsuccessfully submitted 2 times and never successfully submitted, it is counted as 1 failed submission for the relevant reporting period.
It is expected that NHSN will accept all TheraDoc AUR submissions that comply with the AUR protocol in accordance with a facility’s monthly NHSN AUR reporting plan.

Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) Testing Plan
The objective of ONC certification criterion 170.315(f)(5) is electronic transmission of case reports to public health agencies. Premier will evaluate this objective using the following metric for TheraDoc customers who report eCR data to public health agencies:
Metric | Description |
eCR reporting to health departments | Monthly counts of the following:
NOTE: The Electronic Reporting and Surveillance Distribution (eRSD) system version(s) in effect for each month is also included. |
Counts of eICRs and RRs created against specific eRSD versions demonstrate ongoing interoperability as eCR reporting criteria evolve. Counts of “Reportable” and “No Rule Met” reportability conditions reflect the quality of data sent for electronic case reporting. Premier customers can configure TheraDoc to report eCR for select care settings in accordance with their needs. Testing will include all location types that have been configured to report eCR data.
