PODCAST: HIT Policy Committee’s Paul Egerman Discusses New NPRM on Certification

Paul Egerman, Co-Chair, HIT Policy Committee Workgroup on Certification & Adoption

The long-awaited NPRM outlining a certification process for electronic health records was finally released on Tuesday, March 2, smack-dab in the middle of HIMSS annual conference. With much of the industry booked in back-to-back meetings through Wednesday, few have had a chance to review HHS/CMS/ONC’s latest tome — this one a rather light 150+ document when compared to some of their recent efforts. This morning, healthsystemCIO.com editor Anthony Guerra talked with HIT Policy Committee member and software entrepreneur Paul Egerman to learn more about the document his workgroup — focused on Certification and Adoption — did so much to shape.
