2 EHR systems dropped from meaningful use certification list

Electronic health record (EHR) system vendor EHRMagic wasn’t able to pull out one last trick to keep two of its systems certified in the meaningful use incentive program.

 

HHS’ Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) revoked the whimsical vendor’s certifications for its Ambulatory and Inpatient systems after failing to meet meaningful use requirements in two rounds of testing. The agency says the systems shouldn’t have been certified to begin with.

 

But there’s some good news: No providers have attested using these systems, HHS says. But the two systems getting axed from the list does raise concerns as to what happens when a provider’s EHR system loses certification.
