• Inpatient EHR IFR Stage 1
• Emergency Department EHR IFR Stage 1
• ePrescribing IFR Stage 1

Modular EHR technology

• Eligible Providers IFR Stage 1

CCHIT is currently accepting public comment on its most recent work, including Behavioral Health criteria and test scripts, Dermatology criteria and test scripts, and Long-Term and Post-Acute Care (LTPAC) criteria and test scripts. Comments will be accepted until March 16 at 6 PM Eastern.

The organization is also planning a Town Hall meeting at HIMSS in Atlanta (March 1, 12:15 – 1: 45 pm in the Georgia Ballroom 3).
