February 1, 2007 (Press Release) --
January 29, 2007 – The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHITSM) today announced that Advanced Data Systems is CCHIT CertifiedSM for its product, MedicsDocAssistant™ version 3.0 and meets CCHIT ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) criteria for 2006. Ambulatory EHRs are designed for physician offices and clinics where most Americans get their healthcare. CCHIT is a Recognized Certification Body in the United States for certifying health information technology – an independent, non-profit organization that sets the benchmark for electronic health records.
As a CCHIT Certified product, MedicsDocAssistant has been tested and passed inspection of 100 percent of a comprehensive set of criteria for:
* Functionality (ability to create and manage electronic records for all patients, as well as automating workflow in a physician's office),
* Interoperability (a first step in the ability to receive and send electronic data to other entities such as laboratories), and
* Security (ability to keep patients' information safe).
The CCHIT Certified mark – a "seal of approval" for EHR products – provides the first consensus-based, consistent benchmark for ambulatory products. By looking to products with the CCHIT Certified seal, physicians and other providers can be assured they are making a reliable investment and insurers and other payers know the products meet expected industry standards.
"Physicians who purchase certified products have the assurance that they have been reviewed by a panel of judges, including practicing physicians, and that they are being evaluated against standards set by professionals in the field and successfully piloted with products from large and small companies," said Mark Leavitt, M.D., Ph.D., chair, CCHIT. "The quality and safety of EHR products can now be measured using certification criteria that were developed specifically for that purpose."
"We are extremely pleased and proud of MedicsDocAssistant's CCHIT certification. This is a milestone achievement and, we believe a testament to the product's capabilities," said Surya Kuchimanchi, Vice President of EHR Software Development at Advanced Data Systems. Mr. Kuchimanchi added that "Everyone on the ADS Research and Development team has once again shown their ability and talent to formulate and construct software to meet the highest standards of the industry."
Marc E. Klar, ADS Director of Marketing notes that "we believe CCHIT certification really exemplifies MedicsDocAssistant's reputation as a top-shelf solution for automating patient encounters, reducing paperwork, and bringing new levels of efficiency to the medical office."
The goals of CCHIT product certification are to reduce the risk of HIT investment by physicians and other providers; ensure interoperability of HIT products; enhance the availability of HIT adoption incentives from purchasers and payers; and protect the privacy of personal health information.
