Frequently Asked Questions
About Us
-
Darena Health builds FHIR-first healthcare technology that simplifies interoperability, compliance, and performance reporting. Our solutions include ONC/HTI-1 certified modules, MyMipsScore for CMS MIPS reporting, Patient Connect for patient-mediated data exchange, and Custom FHIR Workspaces for scalable API deployments.
-
We support EHR developers, healthcare organizations, provider groups, and app builders who need faster certification, audit-ready reporting, and secure data exchange built on FHIR, SMART v2.2, and CDS Hooks standards.
-
Yes. Our modules meet ONC/HTI-1 certification requirements for (b)(10), (b)(11), (c)(1–4), (g)(6), (g)(9), and (g)(10). Each includes attestation kits, CHPL documentation, and support for ASTP and Real World Testing (RWT).
-
Most customers complete onboarding in hours. We assign a technical owner, provide an implementation playbook, and guide teams through a phased rollout starting with high-value endpoints like USCDI v3.1 and SMART v2.2.
Implementation and Integration
-
Building and certifying internally can be expensive and time-consuming. Darena handles FHIR, SMART, CDS infrastructure, MIPS eCQMs specifications and annual updates, certification evidence, and RWT support so your engineers can focus on customer-facing innovation.
-
Darena supports HL7v2, C-CDA, bulk FHIR ETL, and hybrid migrations. We provide adapters and SDKs, so you can connect legacy systems without breaking existing APIs.
-
No. You can choose a full in-house listing, rely on Darena for specific modules like (b)(10) or (g)(10), or delegate module listing under Darena. This flexibility allows you to retain CHPL control while offloading certification work.
-
Our pre-certified (b)(10) and (b)(11) modules allow you to continue development during government testing tool outages. We maintain readiness for (g)(10) and provide CHPL evidence and scripts so certification work never stops.
Security, Privacy, and Hosting
-
Security is built into every layer of our platform. We are HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST certified. We use SSO, SAML, and OIDC authentication, minimize PHI touchpoints, maintain audit trails, and sign BAAs with all customers.
-
Each tenant is isolated for both compute and data. Dedicated resource pools prevent the noisy neighbor risks. Regional or self-hosted deployments are available for organizations with specific data residency requirements.
-
We maintain complete audit logs, trace IDs, and exportable evidence packs for ASTP and RWT reviews. Every data transaction is traceable from source to submission, supporting ONC and CMS audit requirements.
Compliance and Certification
-
We monitor ONC HTI-1 and CMS updates, including USCDI v3.1, (g)(10), and (b)(11). Customers receive compliance advisories, updated test scripts, and attestation kits, ensuring they stay aligned without requiring rework.
-
We provide RWT plans, test data, and reporting templates aligned with ONC guidance. Each module includes RWT documentation to simplify audits and reduce preparation time.
-
Our certified modules and FHIR Workspaces already support USCDI v3.1 data elements, including expanded demographics and SDOH. This ensures compliance with ONC’s HTI-1 requirements from Jan 1, 2026.
-
Yes. Our MyMipsScore platform automates validation, measure updates, and CMS submissions across Quality, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities. It keeps data audit-ready for six years and helps providers avoid payment penalties.
HTI-1 ONC-Certified Modules
-
HTI-1 (Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability) is the latest ONC final rule under the 21st Century Cures Act that updates Health IT certification standards for interoperability, transparency, information sharing, and electronic health information exchange. HTI-1 certification helps EHR vendors support FHIR APIs, EHI export, patient data access, and evolving ONC compliance requirements.
-
Darena provides certified modules for (b)(10) Electronic Health Information Export, (b)(11) Decision Support Interventions, (g)(9) All Data Access, (g)(10) Standardized API, and (g)(6) Consolidated CDA Access. Each includes attestation kits, CHPL documentation, and RWT support.
-
We handle test scripts, evidence artifacts, and attestation documentation. Customers can maintain their own CHPL listing or rely on Darena’s pre-certified modules to meet compliance requirements.
-
Darena Health provides modular, ONC-certified interoperability solutions that integrate with EHRs using FHIR standards, helping EHRs accelerate implementation without extensive development, testing, maintenance, and redevelopment.
-
Darena Health offers certified modules for FHIR APIs, EHI Export, Decision Support Interventions, and eCQM calculation and reporting to support interoperability, ONC regulatory compliance, and CMS’s quality payment program requirements, including MIPS.
MIPS - MyMipsScore
-
MyMipsScore is a complete MIPS data analysis and reporting solution from Darena Health that helps healthcare organizations collect, analyse, validate, and submit MIPS data. It supports Quality, Promoting Interoperability (PI), and Improvement Activities (IA) performance categories for MIPS and simplifies submission as a CMS-Qualified Registry.
-
MyMipsScore integrates with EHRs using secure APIs and standards-based data exchange. It supports data extraction, mapping, and validation to ensure accurate and efficient MIPS data submission to CMS without disrupting existing workflows.
-
MyMipsScore helps organizations optimize MIPS scores by providing performance tracking, scoring insights, especially for Quality measures, which vary significantly between MIPS CQMs and eCQMs, and support across Quality, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities. It helps identify gaps and optimize measure performance.
-
All data is stored securely for a period of six years to comply with CMS audit requirements. Historical reports can be accessed anytime.
-
MyMipsScore validates data and identifies issues before submission, helping organizations meet CMS MIPS requirements. This reduces reporting errors, improves MIPS score, and helps reduce the potential MIPS penalties.
-
Yes, MyMipsScore supports MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs), helping organizations align with evolving CMS reporting requirements, simplify specialty-specific reporting, and reduce MIPS burden.
Patient Connect
-
Patient Connect enables secure, patient-mediated data exchange. Patients can access and share their health records with providers, research teams, or digital apps using consent-based workflows.
-
Patient portals only show data. Patient Connect lets patients control it. It supports interoperability with wearables, third-party apps, and FHIR-based exchanges to enable real-time sharing.
-
Built on HL7 FHIR, it meets HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST requirements. Every data transaction includes consent validation, encryption, and full audit trails.
Performance and Support
-
Our multi-tenant architecture provides per-tenant resource isolation and elastic scaling. Continuous monitoring ensures stability even under high-volume workloads.
-
Darena offers tiered support via a ticketing system. Customers receive a documentation library, training videos, and live onboarding sessions.
-
We offer a low-touch implementation model. Our engineers handle configuration, mapping, and testing while your team reviews and approves before go-live.
-
We maintain versioned APIs, backward compatibility layers, and a clear deprecation policy. Our roadmap covers the R4B and R5 transitions to ensure smooth upgrades.
