Certifying Emergency Department EHR educational sessions

As organizations prepare to take their Emergency Department (EHR) products through this newly offered CCHIT Certified® 08 certification process, a number of questions often arise:

  • How do you we guide our organization’s product certification process?
  • Is our product ready for certification testing?
  • Are we interpreting the criteria and test steps correctly?

Based upon HIT vendor request and two years of certification testing experience, the Certification Commission has designed an educational program to answer these questions. The purpose of this interactive, online seminar is to help you and others on your team understand the certification process and use the certification program tools effectively.  

Objectives

Following the completion of this program, you will be prepared to lead your certification team through readiness evaluation, application, test preparation and final jury inspection.
You will be able to:

  • Describe the CCHIT certification program – its place in the HIT marketplace, its requirements, and the development of the criteria and test scripts, including a future roadmap
  • Evaluate your product’s readiness for testing including any necessary product component bundling
  • Explain the criteria and testing methods used for clinical functionality and interoperability
  • Explain the criteria and testing methods used for security, including requirements for self-attestation
  • Identify the requirements for completing a successful application for certification and lead your team through inspection scheduling and testing
