Cutting through the Confusion: Beware of Vendors Bearing Promises

Cutting through the Confusion: Beware of Vendors Bearing Promises
In order to qualify for stimulus funds, the onus is ultimately on a doctor to demonstrate 'meaningful use' of a certified EMR solution. The problem, Hollis says, is that the federal government has yet to specify the software certification standard that will be used and has not yet finalized specifics on the exact requirements for doctors to achieve meaningful use. The ONC has never stated that any prior or current certification by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) will qualify an EHR system in advance or in lieu of the upcoming certification standard.
