Cchit - Advertizement Infinitum...

This 1 doesn’t e'er instruct away, does it? Over at Software Advice, Chris Thorman is trying to evaluate the time to come of what seems to endure the most controversial entity inwards the EHR business. Will CCHIT thrive or volition it fade away into a background of diverse certification bodies sprouted past times ONC’s certification program?

Basically, CCHIT’s expertise together with readiness, which far surpasses the notwithstanding unknown contenders, should function to its advantage. On the other manus the sheer being of contest together with the simplifications introduced past times ONC, coupled amongst the rise influence of Regional Extension Centers may eventually force CCHIT together with its extensive certification programs into irrelevancy.

Personally, I dubiety really much that the RECs volition endure bold plenty to pick out preferred vendors that convey non certified inwards the past times together with are non willing to commit to certifying inwards the really close future, exactly that remains to endure seen. Another element that is oft overlooked is the fiscal prospects of whatsoever certifying body. The EHR marketplace is rather small, or at to the lowest degree also modest to back upwards a wealth of certifying entities, if they are to hold a pricing grade at or below CCHIT. Anything priced higher than the CCHIT minimal ARRA certification volition detect no buyers.

And together with thence in that location is the 800 lb Gorilla inwards the room. If the FDA decides to practise proper oversight over EHR products every bit they produce amongst PACS, lab software, blood banks, etc., the entire certification landscape volition endure turned on its head.
We produce alive inwards interesting HIT times…..
