Work Groups

Ambulatory EHR

The Ambulatory EHR Work Group develops criteria and test scripts for certifying electronic health record (EHR) products used in physician offices - large and small - where most Americans get their care.

 

Inpatient EHR

Tasked with prioritizing and developing criteria and testing for Inpatient EHRs, the Inpatient EHR Work Group monitors the current need for health IT technology used in acute, hospital-based care.

Network

Interoperable EHRs require a structure for sharing information—a secure network. With the guidance of the Work Groups, the Network Work Group is tasked with initiating the development of criteria and tests for these emerging health information exchanges.

Interoperability

Ensuring that EHR products and networks can share data compatibly is one of the primary goals of certification—and the public and private heath IT communities. The Interoperability Work Group works with all CCHIT Work Groups to recommend criteria and testing that ensures data portability.

 

Security

Charged with advising on the security requirements for CCHIT Certified EHRs and networks, the Security Work Group remains up-to-date on security standards and best practices to recommend criteria and testing for all EHRs and their networks.

Behavioral Health New Work Group

It is the role of the Behavioral Health Work Group to ensure that EHR products and networks address the health IT requirements of caring for this special population by developing criteria and test scripts to be added to other certification categories as an option for certification.

Child Health

The care of children spans physician specialty practices and care settings. It's the role of the Child Health Work Group to ensure that EHR products and networks address the health IT requirements of caring for this special population by developing criteria and test scripts to be added to other certification categories as an option for certification.

 

Cardiovascular Medicine

The Cardiovascular Medicine Work Group has been tasked with recommending optional criteria and test scripts to other certification categories to address the unique needs of office-based cardiovascular physicians and practices with a goal of improving health IT adoption in that specialty medicine group.

 

Emergency Department

For this newly created certification category for a special care setting, the Emergency Department Work Group is charged with initiating the development of criteria and test scripts to certify EHR products used to support the treatment of Emergency Department patients.

Personal Health Records New Work Group
