The CCHIT Certified program is an independently developed certification that includes rigorous inspection of an EHR's integrated functionality, interoperability and security using criteria developed by CCHIT's broadly representative, expert work groups. This program is intended to serve healthcare providers looking for greater assurance that a product will meet their complex needs. Physicians and other providers can be confident that products with the CCHIT Certified 2011 seal offer greater assurance that their unique needs will be met; insurers and other payers know the products meet expected industry standards. In the certification process, CompuGroup Medical's HEHR v.10 demonstrated:
- Functionality to create and manage electronic records for all patients in a healthcare system, as well as automate workflow in physicians' offices
- Interoperability that responds to the increasing demand to send and receive data electronically, ensuring data compatibly across networks and systems
- Security best practices that comply with data security standards and guard patients' information
"We take infinite pride in our products and their ability to help our customers provide optimal healthcare with efficiency and ease," said Bridget Michaels, director of project management. "Every member of our team enthusiastically contributed to the success of this product and the ease of our certification process, and we take the most pride in our people and their tireless work ethic. We believe that with this certification achievement our customers can be assured of having the highest quality EHR."
