How is an electronic health record identified as a certified EHR?
A certified EHR technology means any qualified electronic health record that is certified through a program recognized by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, in consultation with the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The certification program will include standards adopted through the new federal process. It is unclear how the certification process will work until the Federal Health IT Policy and Standards Committees are in place, and a program or programs are selected for the certification process.
