ChiroPractice is currently going through the review process to receive certification for deeming the electronic health record (EHR) software capable of enabling providers to meet some of the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Testing is scheduled for December and will be certified under the Drummond Group's Electronic Health Records Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) program, the EHR software is 2011/2012 compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Drummond Group's ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification program tests and certifies that EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for eligible providers or hospital technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the EHR systems of complete certified vendors are qualified to receive federal stimulus monies upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology -- a key component of the federal government?s push to improve clinical care delivery through the adoption and effective use of EHRs by U.S. healthcare providers.
