“Over the past few weeks, since the ONC released its recommendations to CMS concerning Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), as well as the Initial Set of Standards and Certification, we have been blogging on a variety of implications these rules have on physician practices.
The documents lay out 25 criteria which are required for EHRs to become Certified (and the actual certification process is currently being detailed).
