21 Jan Select one of the eight criteria and create a checklist with which you could test an electronic health record system to ensure it is in compliance with health IT requirements
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Health IT Certification Program is a voluntary certification program established by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT to provide for health IT certification. Requirements for certification are established by standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria adopted by the Secretary.
The certification of Health IT is based on eight criteria:
• Clinical processes
• Care coordination
• Clinical quality measurement
• Privacy and security
• Patient engagement
• Public health
• Health IT design and performance
• Electronic exchange
For this discussion, select one of the eight criteria and create a checklist with which you could test an electronic health record system to ensure it is in compliance with health IT requirements. This checklist could be based on an EHR system you have worked with or the final project case study. Explain why you selected the items on your checklist and how you might test for them.
