Ehr Certification - Should Cchit Endure It?

I posted this comment a twain of days agone on the ONC weblog here. They lastly moderated the comment as well as posted it this morning, then hither it is again. I volition convey to a greater extent than on the ONC NPRM later....

OK, I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I am.
As anybody that reads things I write, or listens to things I say, knows, I had lots of issues alongside the means CCHIT operated inward the past times as well as the effects it had on the EHR industry. However, currently CCHIT has a consummate certification infrastructure inward house gear upwards to service both comprehensive EHRs as well as EHR modules immediately. No other scheme is fifty-fifty remotely approximately such capabilities.
I practice believe your long term accreditation conception is expert as well as much needed.
However, I would similar to suggest that the entire temporary certification plan needs to live scratched as well as that CCHIT live awarded ONC-ATCB condition then certification processes tin orbit the axe laid out now. I don’t actually run into the value of engaging inward a formal lengthy procedure but to practice temporary bodies of certification. I every bit good don’t run into how submitting a bunch of forms as well as documentation to ONC as well as taking a quiz tin orbit the axe render assurance to both vendors as well as physicians that these newly accredited temporary bodies actually know what they are doing, considering they convey never tested an EHR before.
I believe ONC is underestimating the complexity of certification as well as the infrastructure required for a successful program, fifty-fifty a temporary one. Please shout upwards that if all goes well, at that spot volition live a tremendous moving ridge of adoption inward the coming twelvemonth as well as it volition all live done nether temporary certification bodies. In gild to sustain futurity expansion of HIT, it is imperative that physicians convey a expert sense inward 2010-2011.
I tin orbit the axe easily envision horror stories, especially regarding EHR modules, created past times pocket-size underfunded vendors, getting temporary certification as well as providing zippo but disappointment as well as fiscal loss to customers.
In the applied scientific discipline world, reinventing the cycle is non considered a worthy endeavor. CCHIT is there. It is experienced. It is upwards to engagement inward it’s infrastructure as well as readiness. It has created a pared downwardly ARRA certification as well as kept upwards alongside all ONC/CMS changes.
So why non allow CCHIT starting fourth dimension working on a temporary basis, land ONC begins the long term accreditation procedure for all applicants? Wouldn’t it serve the marketplace as well as all our goals better?
It’s the simplest, cheapest, fastest as well as to the lowest degree risky solution as well as it’s the correct matter to do.
