The Government Plays An Active Role Certifying EMR Vendors Driving EMR Standards Funding Pilot EMR Programs (to seed the standards)

9 AHIC: The hub that drives opportunities for increasing nation wide health information interoperability The Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) The Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC) American Health Information Community (AHIC) Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) National Health Information Network (NHIN) Architecture Projects CCHIT focuses on developing a mechanism for certification of health care IT products HITSP brings together all relevant stakeholders to identify appropriate IT standards HISPC addresses variations in business policy and state law that affect privacy and security NHIN is focused on interoperability pilots Stark and EMR Certification In In August August 2006, 2006, the the Department of of Health Health and and Human Human Services (HHS) (HHS) published rules rules that that provide provide an an exception under under the the physician self-referral prohibition law law (Stark), (Stark), as as well well as as safe safe harbor harbor under under the the anti-kickback act act (AKA), (AKA), for for the the donation of of interoperable EHR EHR technology to to physicians and and other other health health care care practitioners or or entities. EHR EHR software is is deemed to to be be interoperable if if a certifying body body recognized by by the the Secretary has has certified the the software no no more more than than months months prior prior to to the the date date it it is is provided to to the the physician/recipient. CCHIT CCHIT is is an an officially recognized certifying body body CCHIT CCHIT = Certification Committee for for Healthcare Information Technology
