Title: 2015 Edition Health Information Technology (Health IT) Certification Criteria, 2015 Base Electronic Health Record (EHR) Definition, and ONC Health IT Certification Program Modifications  
Abstract:

This notice of proposed rulemaking introduces a new edition of certification criteria (the 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 open and accessible to more types of health IT and health IT that supports various care and practice settings. The 2015 Edition would also establish the capabilities and specify the related standards and implementation specifications that Certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) Technology (CEHRT) would need to include to, at a minimum, support the achievement of meaningful use by eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals, and critical access hospitals (CAHs) under the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs (EHR Incentive Programs) when such edition is required for use under these programs.
