Now ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 Certified as a Complete EHR
Office Ally Announces ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 Certification of Its Electronic Health Records System, EHR 24/7
Designation from the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology Opens Door for Providers to Receive Stimulus Funding
VANCOUVER, Wash.--Office Ally announced today that its electronic health records (EHR 24/7, v. 3.6.0) product is 2011/2012 compliant and was certified as a Complete EHR by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT®). The 2011/2012 criteria supports the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The U.S. government is encouraging a movement toward electronic health records as a way to foster improvements in healthcare quality, safety, efficiency and access.
The certification program tests and certifies that Complete EHRs meet all of the 2011/2012 criteria and that EHR Modules meet one or more – but not all – of the criteria approved by the secretary of health and human services for either eligible provider or hospital technology. It does not represent an endorsement of the certified EHR technology by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services nor does it guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.
In order to be eligible for government funding under the 2009 economic stimulus package, providers must use EHR technology that has been certified to allow providers to achieve “meaningful use.” These are categorized by the U.S. government as technology that improves care coordination, reduces healthcare disparities, engages patients and their families, improves population and public health, and ensures adequate privacy and security. The certification received by Office Ally fulfills this requirement....For complete press release click here<
