Steps to Certification:

Review the Certification Handbook and Certification Agreement.
The Handbook provides a program overview, defines product eligibility, describes the inspection process, outlines juror requirements and a complaint process and provides CCHIT Certified marketing guidelines. The Certification Agreement details the relationship between CCHIT and your organization for the purposes of certification.
Review the Test Scripts.
The Test Scripts outline the specific procedural steps that you must meet to demonstrate conformance with the CCHIT certification criteria. The Test Scripts represent real life medical scenarios against which an EHR product can be tested. Applicants must prepare for their inspection by reviewing and practicing their demonstration of the Test Scripts. It has been proven that applicants who prepare and practice the Test Scripts complete the inspection process more quickly and require less repeat testing to demonstrate that their product meets the criteria.
Review the Application Form and How to Apply.
All applications are first completed electronically. Then, CCHIT must receive two (2) signed agreements and payment within five (5) business days of applying for the product application to be accepted for testing within the available testing period.
Prepare and Submit Self-Attestation Materials.
Testing is scheduled only after that review establishes that the product is eligible and ready for inspection. CCHIT has developed Self-Attestation Guidance to help you in this regard. Use the Self-Attestation Submission Form to submit materials.
Schedule a Test Date.
You will be invited to schedule an available inspection date after you have completed the previous steps. After that date is confirmed, CCHIT staff will work with you to coordinate the inspection.
