HITECH EHR Certification Criteria

The details of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act are discussed at length in Chapter Six. One of the significant components of this Act is the incentive program for electronic health records. To qualify for the incentive program, providers not only must ensure “meaningful use” of the EHR, but must also demonstrate that the EHR in use meets certification criteria. The certification criteria for the EHR under HITECH is divided into criteria for the Ambulatory Setting and for the Inpatient Setting. Table 10.5 outlines the EHR criteria to meet the Stage 1 Meaningful Use Objectives, along with relevant standards. For a full list of all EHR criteria, go to http://healthit.hhs.gov (HHS, 2012d). Eligible participants must meet all of the listed “Core Set” and five out of ten “Menu Set.”
