Certification Commission Jurors

CCHIT's inspection process is a rigorous test of electronic health record (EHR) products using two methods: jury-observed demonstration and inspection of self-attestation materials.

To complete this testing, CCHIT empanels a team of three clinical jurors, one of whom must be a practicing physician, and an IT security evaluator to assess a product's conformance to the CCHIT certification criteria. The inspection occurs by observing the performance of the applicant's product in executing a series of test scripts and reviewing required materials supplied by the applicant.

The jurors are selected by the Commission from those applying as individuals or as sponsored representatives of an organization. Juror performance will be monitored by CCHIT for consistency, reliability, and lack of bias.
