Is the nEHR certified by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT)?
Yes. Acumen v.5.0 has been premarket, conditionally certified by CCHIT. Full certification will be granted based on 45 days of satisfactory use of this new software version at a practice site. We anticipate that this step will be completed on or before March 1, 2008. The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHITSM ) is the Recognized Certification Body in the United States for certifying health information technology products-an independent, nonprofit organization that sets the benchmark for electronic health records. More information on CCHIT and CCHIT CertifiedSM products is available at www.cchit.org.
