| There's been a lot of buzz lately about the reimbursements for EHR use announced in the recently passed Stimulus Act (ARRA). A maximum benefit of $44,000 over six years is certainly buzz-worthy and has many doctors scouring the software landscape for the right EHR/EMR system. Regardless of what any Eye Care EHR/EMR software companies claim, there is yet no certification for Eye Care EHR's. |
Until now EHR certification has been handled by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT), however the ARRA bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to establish the definition of a certified EHR by Dec. 31, 2009. Meanwhile CCHIT has laid out their timeline for defining additional certifications, and the proposed schedule for Eye Care EHR is: Research in 2009, Development in 2010, and certification launch in 2011. See: http://www.cchit.org/files/Expansion/CCHITExpansionRoadmapDRAFT20090115.pdf
Whether the final certification comes from the Department of Health and Human Services or CCHIT, My Vision Express is committed to meet or exceed any future certification requirements. Our HIPAA compliant SQL Server based system only gets better with every release. Eye care professionals can expect My Vision Express to continue its innovation through certification and beyond.
