The Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) has certified a batch of electronic health records (EHRs) under a new standards program.
CCHIT, Chicago, is certifying the EHRs under its new Long Term and Post Acute Care (LTPAC) certification program.
CCHIT, a nonprofit group, says the EHR standards cover EHR functionality, interoperability, and security. Certifiers are supposed to verify that an EHR is being used successfully at a live site.
