Certification Commission expands scope

The Certification Commission has updated its roadmap for expansion of its health information technology certification activities, at the same time emphasizing the importance of flexibility and responsiveness as the impacts of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 emerge. The nine new programs for launch in 2010 and beyond will extend certification to new specialties, settings, and populations, while also opening the door to labeling that recognizes advanced capabilities in electronic health records as users become ready to adopt them.

Review the Final Expansion Roadmap and the supporting materials received by the Commission and approved on February 17, 2009.
