CCHIT recently launched the EHR Alternative Certification for Hospitals program, called EACH, to certify self-developed electronic health records in hospitals, or older EHRs that vendors won't get certified. The program certifies complete or modular EHRs. Beth Israel Deaconess was a pilot site and has received inpatient Complete EHR certification.
CCHIT representatives will be available to meet with hospital and association officials to answer questions about the EACH program Feb. 20-23 during HIMSS11 in Orlando. For an appointment, send an e-mail to Diana Coniglio, CCHIT marketing coordinator, at dconiglio@cchit.org.
