What is the difference between CCHIT certification and “meaningful use” certification?
A. CCHIT certifies a comprehensive suite of EHR functionality. Sage Intergy EHR V5.5 is CCHIT certified for 2008. Meaningful Use certification is a small subset of the CCHIT certification. Sage Intergy Meaningful Use Edition V6.2 has been certified as a meaningful use solution for physicians seeking incentives under the HITECH stimulus package released as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) Act of 2009.
