MedcomSoft knows that certification is an important standard which will boost market confidence and physicians’ confidence in adopting Electronic Medical Records(EMR). The increased adoption of Electronic Medical Records(EMRs) will assist practices in the improvement of quality patient care, the reduction in practice costs and expenses, and ultimately, increase practice revenues. With a certified EMR in-place, drug-to-drug interactions or missed doses of critical medications can be avoided. Clinicians using MedcomSoft Record have access to complete patient electronic records with a quick click of a mouse.
Certified EMRs need to have measures in-place and pass testing on a group of standards and interoperability technology. For reference, a complete list of these test requirements can be found on ONC’s website. This site offers information and links to everything from “meaningful use” to regulations and standards.
In order to qualify for Medicare/ Medicaid incentive payments, clinicians need to utilize EMR technology certified by an Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology-Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB).
