RE: [ihc] CCHIT Seal of Approval Bestowed on Electronic Health Records

Fulton,

 

I just shared the info' - now you've drilled down into this - seems that this could be like HIPAA all over again - where the initial bar is only 1" above the ground - so most people can hop over it.  Although they did say that some participants failed!  So they must have a minimal set of base aspects they are looking for here.

 

Certainly would be nice to get a definitive answer on that.

 

The real kicker though is standard for the exchange XML - and I suspect there's several competing dialects in that corner...

David,

 

What hurdles to interoperability are therefore behind us, with respect to these "certified" systems. What hurdles remain?

 

I looked at what I think were the certification criteria in the lab/prescription space, and there seemed to be some requirements that had a to be developed flavor. For example, the compliance requirement to receive lab results would seem to be a "bye" until May 2007, when the certification requirement is to use Elincs 1.0 or later. There is a similar reference to May 2007 compliance with respect to receiving prescription data.

 

Am I looking at the wrong criteria. Are these what amount to "beta" or version 0.9 sorts of certifications?
