Proud to be certified.
SSIMED is CCHIT Certified^SM for its product, EMRge™ Version 6.0 and meets CCHIT ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) criteria for 2006.

As a CCHIT Certified product, SSIMED EMRge has been tested and passed inspection of 100 percent of a comprehensive set of criteria for:

• Functionality (ability to create and manage electronic records for all patients, as well as automating workflow in a physician’s office),
• Interoperability (a first step in the ability to receive and send electronic data to other entities such as laboratories), and
• Security (ability to keep patients’ information safe).

About the certification.
The goals of CCHIT product certification are to:

• Reduce the risk of HIT investment by providers,
• Ensure interoperability (compatibility) of HIT products,
• Enhance the availability of HIT adoption incentives from purchasers and payers, and
• Protect the privacy of personal health information. 

CCHIT’s certification compliance criteria and its design for a certification inspection process have been thoroughly researched, taking into account the state of the art of EHRs and available standards, and comparing certification processes in other industries and other countries.

CCHIT’s inspection process is based on real-life medical scenarios designed to test products rigorously against the clinical documentation needs of providers and the quality and safety needs of healthcare consumers and payers.

CCHIT Certified^SM product certification provides an objective set of criteria against which health information technology products can be measured to enable purchasers to reliably make an investment in those products and to assure healthcare consumers that they can trust their healthcare information to be stored in those products.
