CCHIT Certification

Wellsoft EDIS Complies With Emergency Department Standards


In September 2010, Wellsoft EDIS v11 received 2011 CCHIT Certification by complying with

Emergency Department EHR requirements. This new certification updates Wellsoft’s 2008 CCHIT Certification.

Wellsoft EDIS v11 is again one of the first
Emergency Department EHRs to receive ongoing CCHIT Certification.

The Certification Commission for Health Information Technology’s (CCHIT®) inspection process is based on real-life medical scenarios designed to test products rigorously against the complex needs of health care providers. As part of the process, use is verified at live sites.

The CCHIT Certified® program is an independently developed certification that includes a rigorous inspection of an EHR’s integrated functionality, interoperability and security using criteria developed by CCHIT’s broadly representative, expert work groups.

Wellsoft passed 100% of the ED EHR 2011 Test Script in these key areas:

• Functionality


Wellsoft EDIS v11 complies with requirements for ED features and functions such as Patient Registration & Tracking, Clinical Documentation, Order Tracking & Results Reporting, Medication Management and Discharge-Admit-Transfer.

• Interoperability


Wellsoft demonstrated compliance with the use of standards-based data exchange with other sources of healthcare information using HL7 standards and messages.

• Security


Wellsoft’s demonstrated compliance with security requirements (such as HIPAA and Audit Trail Node Authentication) ensures data privacy and robustness to prevent data loss.

 


Benefits of CCHIT Certification


EDIS Comprehensive Certification provides an extra level of assurance that key the features and functionality needed for Emergency Departments are available, tested and certified for use.
