CCHIT Happens
For those healthcare IT vendors burning to speak out on this sometimes controversial topic, a final comment period on the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology's (CCHIT) proposed certification criteria and test scripts for inpatient electronic health records (EHRs) runs through June 19. Comments will only be accepted on changes made to a previous version of the criteria.
The commission's board will approve final documents at a June 25 meeting, and then CCHIT will start accepting applications for certification under the new criteria Aug. 1. Earlier this month CCHIT announced that it had certified 30 additional electronic health record systems for ambulatory care under the 2006 criteria. CCHIT now has certified a total of 81 ambulatory EHR products.
