Central Cancer Registry Reporting IG Test Kit
The Central Cancer Registry Reporting (CCRR) Test Kit is a testing tool for Health IT systems seeking to meet the requirements of the STU 1.0.0 version of the HL7® FHIR® Central Cancer Registry Reporting IG.
This test kit currently contains suites that verify the conformance of systems playing the following roles:
- Health Data Exchange App (HDEA) Report Generator: Verifies that the Health IT system can generate conformant and complete reports to send to a cancer registry.
- Electronic Health Record (EHR) Data Source: Verifies that the Health IT system can respond to queries for the data needed to create a cancer registry report.
Status
These tests are a DRAFT intended to allow CCRR IG implementers to perform preliminary checks of their implementations against the IG’s requirements and provide feedback on the tests. Future versions of these tests may validate other requirements and may change how these are tested.
Known Limitations
This test kit does not currently include test suites for all actors and all capabilities defined by the CCRR IG. Out of scope areas of the IG include the Cancer Registry and Trusted Third Party actors and details related to the use of the MedMorph framework by all actors to coordinate reporting triggering, report content, and report delivery requirements.
The existing HDEA and EHR suites focus on report content and do not currently test most details of the report exchange workflow. The following areas are not tested:
- EHR requirements around authentication and authorization and the use of Subscriptions to provide notifications to HDEAs.
- HDEA requirements around the gathering of report contents from EHRs and the delivery of completed reports using FHIR APIs.
For additional details on suite-specific limitations, see the suite documention in the running tests or the corresponding content in the source repository (EHR suite limitations, HDEA suite limitations)

Providing Feedback and Reporting Issues
We welcome feedback on the tests, including but not limited to the following areas:
- Validation logic, such as potential bugs, lax checks, and unexpected failures.
- Requirements coverage, such as requirements that have been missed, tests that necessitate features that the IG does not require, or other issues with the interpretation of the IG’s requirements.
- User experience, such as confusing or missing information in the test UI.
Please report any issues with this set of tests in the issues section of the repository.
