Despite Regulatory Haze, CCHIT Marches On

CCHIT has certified 14 products under its two new programs — CCHIT Certified 2011 Comprehensive and Preliminary ARRA 2011.

The CCHIT Certified 2011 Comprehensive program differs from the Preliminary ARRA certification program by providing a more rigorous inspection of integrated EHR functionality, interoperability, and security in addition to full compliance with federal standards, according to the organization. As part of the “Comprehensive” inspection process, key aspects of successful use are verified at live sites, and usability is rated for ambulatory EHRs.
