CMS and ONC Launch Designated Test EHR Program
As part of our and CMS' ongoing effort to improve interoperability among certified Electronic Health Records Technology (CEHRT), we are pleased to announce McKesson and Meditech are the first two "Test EHRs," selected from among certified EHRs. We strongly encourage others in the EHR technology developer community to participate in the program to become a CMS designated test EHR.
Under Stage 2 of Meaningful Use transition of care objective measure #3 [PDF - 218 KB]eligible professionals (EPs) and eligible hospitals/critical access hospitals (CAHs) must either:
- Conduct one or more successful electronic exchanges of a summary of care document, with a recipient who has EHR technology designed by a different EHR technology developer than the sender's.
Or
- Conduct one or more successful tests with the CMS designated test EHR during the EHR reporting period
ONC and NIST conducted a pilot that ran from September through November of last year to finalize the test procedures. The pilot participants were AthenaHealth, McKesson andMeditech.
