ONC Interim Rule

or

Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification

Criteria for Electronic Health Record Technology, 2014 Edition

17

ONC Proposed Rule - Highlights

• Referred to as 2014 edition Standards & Certification Rule

• Public comment template on HealthIT.gov website

• The proposed rule identifies certain “unchanged” 2014 Edition EHR certification criteria that would permit the developer to claim just a gap certification

18

ONC Proposed Rule - Highlights

• EPs can have a Base EHR as well as the additional EHR technology necessary to meet JUST the meaningful use objectives and measures

• Temporary certification program will sun set on the day of Final rule

• New certification program will be called – ONC HIT Certification Program

19

ONC Proposed Rule - HighlightsComments Sought on

• Data Portability - whether ONC should adopt a certification criterion that focuses on the portability of data stored within CEHRT

• Price Transparency - this provision would require EHR technology developers to disclose only the full cost of a certified Complete EHR or certified EHR Module – Public information

• User- Centric Design – IOM - “HHS should specify the quality and risk management process requirements that health IT vendors must adopt, with a particular focus on human factors, safety culture, and usability” – 8 selected measures

• Quality – IOM – “Establish quality management principles and processes in health IT” – Publicly available
