About

The care of children spans physician specialty practices and care settings. It's the role of the Child Health Expert Panel to ensure that EHR products and networks address the health IT requirements of caring for this special population by developing criteria and test scripts to be added to other certification categories as an option for certification.

Expanding the Certification Commission scope

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has authorized and funded the Commission to expand its certification scope of work for ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) products to begin addressing medical specialties and specialized care settings.
