Materials for Public Comment

Even though the draft documents remain accessible, public comment on these materials is now closed. 

The 2011 Long Term and Post Acute Care (LTPAC) criteria include a core set of requirements that apply to products for use in any of these areas of care: Skilled Nursing facilities, Medicare-certified Home Health agencies, inpatient and home Hospice programs, Inpatient Rehabilitation facilities, and Long Term Acute Care settings.

In addition, there are two, separate add-on sets of criteria for 2011 certification, representing EHR requirements specific to Skilled Nursing Facilities and Medicare-certified Home Health Agencies. Finally, as is traditional for CCHIT, we are publishing "Roadmap" criteria to indicate expected requirements in the future, for 2013 or 2015.
