St. Louis May 1, 2007 The Certification Commission for Healthcare
Information Technology (CCHITSM) today announced that MDTablets product
MDTablet EHR Version 2.6.7 is CCHIT Certified, and meets CCHIT ambulatory
electronic health record (EHR) criteria for 2006. Ambulatory EHRs are designed
for physician offices and clinics where most Americans get their healthcare.
CCHIT is a Recognized Certification Body in the United States for certifying
health information technology products an independent, nonprofit organization
that sets the benchmark for EHRs.
As a CCHIT certified product, MDTablet EHR has been tested and passed
inspection of 100 percent of a set of criteria for:
Functionality (ability to create and manage electronic records for all
patients, as well as automating workflow in a physicians office),
Interoperability (a first step in the ability to receive and send electronic
data to other entities such as laboratories), and
Security (ability to keep patients information safe).
The CCHIT Certified mark a seal of approval for EHR products provides the
first consensus-based, consistent benchmark for ambulatory products. By looking
to products with the CCHIT Certified seal, physicians and other providers can
be assured they are making a reliable investment and insurers and other payers
know the products meet expected industry standards.
Physicians who purchase certified products have the assurance that they have been reviewed by a panel of judges, including practicing physicians, and that they are being evaluated against standards set by professionals in the field and successfully piloted with products from large and small companies, said Mark Leavitt, M.D., Ph.D., chair, CCHIT. The quality and safety of EHR products can now be measured using certification criteria that were developed specifically for that purpose.
