New This Week on HealthIT.gov
Happy
Friday! As you may have noticed, ONC has been just a tad busy this
week, but we did want to pause for a moment and recognize the 100 “Most
Wired” hospitals as chosen by the American Hospital Association. Kudos
to all the winners! We are sure your patients appreciate the hard work
you’ve done to move toward interoperability and exchange!
In This Issue:
With that said, let’s cut to the chase: To begin with, our Office of Certification released the ONC Certified HIT mark for 2014
this week. The mark helps ensure that Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT)
is available for eligible providers seeking to qualify for the CMS EHR
Incentive Program. You can take a look at the list of certified EHRs at
our Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL).
Read more about the 2014 mark at the HealthIT.gov Buzz blog.
To
align with the June 2013 Annual Update for Eligible Professional
Electronic Specifications for Clinical Quality Measures (CQM), ONC has
released v2.3 of Cypress along with the updated CQM Test Procedure. This updated test procedure
details operational uses of testing various versions of Clinical
Quality Measures released throughout 2013 and a clear concept of
operations for testing on a per-CQM basis. This updated test procedure
also addresses a new feature in Cypress to eliminate a manual visual
inspection step when testing QRDA Category 1 XML documents.

Just
in time for hurricane season comes some good news. Often it is during
the most horrific events that patients need their health data most
urgently. With that in mind, 10 states announced Thursday
that they would team up to provide patient health data to doctors and
hospitals during the aftermath of a hurricane or other wide-spread
disaster. The Health Information Exchange programs for Alabama, Georgia,
Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan,
Wisconsin and West Virginia announced the initiative for patients
forced from their homes due to a disaster.
The latest attestation data is now at your fingertips! The May numbers on the number of eligible providers attesting to meaningful use is on our Dashboard now. Check it out.
