Our value add for Certification

Meaningful Use

• Meaningful use ‘attestation’ will be implementation specific
• EHR/EMR software certification may be a qualifying criteria but will not guarantee meaningful use attestation
• HIMSS Thoughts
  • Functional EHR certified by Certification
  • Electronic exchange of standardized patient data via HITSP and IHE frameworks
  • Clinical decision support (clinical knowledge and intelligently-filtered patient information)
  • Support for process and care measurement
• Future of meaningful use
  • Generation 1 – capture necessary data and report
  • Generation 2 – use data to measure quality
  • Generation 3 – intervene to improve quality
• We foresee future certification criteria to begin to encompass many aspects of meaningful use
