Important information about certification

In addition to meeting foundational functionality criteria such as security, the certified inpatient products were examined for combined clinician order entry (often called CPOE or “Computerized Physician Order Entry”) and medication administration capabilities (often called eMAR or “Electronic Medication Administration Record”), including related clinical decision support. The Commission focused certification testing on these areas first because they have the lowest rate of adoption in hospitals but have been shown to offer the highest value for improvement of care. A key point: applying certification to CPOE and eMAR first does not imply that these are the first modules hospitals should implement.

CCHIT represents that the Certified products listed on our website have been inspected against our published Criteria, using our published Test Scripts, according to the methods and policies published in our Certification Handbook. CCHIT has not inspected, nor does it make any representations, about any other characteristics of these products or companies.

The Inpatient EHR Criteria represent basic requirements that the Commission and its Workgroups believe are appropriate for most acute care, inpatient care settings. CCHIT acknowledges that these Criteria may not be suitable for all inpatient settings and our current certification makes no representation for specialized care settings. Purchasers should not interpret a lack of CCHIT Certification as being of significance for care settings not yet addressed by CCHIT Criteria.
