Abstract:

This notice of proposed rulemaking (2015 Edition health IT certification criteria or 2015 Edition) proposes a new 2015 Edition Base EHR definition and proposes to modify the ONC Health IT Certification Program to make it more broadly applicable to other types of health IT health care settings and programs that may leverage the ONC Health IT Certification Program. The 2015 Edition would also establish the technical capabilities and specify the related standards and implementation specifications that Certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) Technology would need to include to at a minimum support the achievement of meaningful use by eligible professionals eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals under the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs when such edition is required for use under these programs.
