ONC EHR Certification

The ONC Health IT Certification Program is a voluntary initiative established by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC). Its purpose is to certify health IT products, such as EHR systems, to ensure that they meet specific standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria. This certification helps healthcare providers and users evaluate and select health IT products that adhere to defined technological capabilities, functionality, and security features as outlined by the ONC.

 

Structured data in EHRs refers to information that is organized and formatted in a consistent manner, making it easily retrievable, shareable, and transferable. This structured approach allows healthcare providers to efficiently access and transmit patient information, ultimately enhancing patient care and improving the overall healthcare delivery process. It also facilitates meaningful use of EHRs and promotes interoperability within the healthcare system.

 

In summary, the ONC Health IT Certification Program plays a crucial role in certifying health IT products, like EHR systems, to ensure they meet established standards and criteria, while structured data within EHRs allows for effective data management, retrieval, and sharing, ultimately benefiting both providers and patients.
