Are there plans to have ClearHealth participate in the CCHIT EHR certification pilot? If so, what are the plans?
Thanks,
Chris

Any news on this?
We are looking into ClearHealth but need it to be CCHIT certified if we are to consider using it.

We have already started the process to get CCHIT certification in the July 2009 edition. However this assumes CCHIT continues to be funded, some big caveats:
*If NIST and ONCHIT don't select CCHIT under ARRA we won't pursue it and will pursue that instead
*If NIST and ONCHIT select a more open source friendly alternative for ARRA we may pursue that instead or in combination with

With daschle out a lot of decision making got delayed or held, with Sebelius coming in, assuming she gets confirmed, this should be resolved very quickly but in which direction, who knows a lot of mis-information out there.
Understand that CCHIT currently provides NO benefit to open source, in fact the CCHIT certified edition cannot be the one provided as open source, that is how the certification works. We have to have a commercial relationship with the customer in order to provide the certified edition. You can get the same feature set (that is already the case) but can't call yourself CCHIT and would probably no be eligible for most funding/reumbursement if using the open source edition. So if you are interested in using our commercial edition of ClearHealth no problem but if you want a CCHIT certified open source system, none will exist until they adjust their process. Read the fine print on WorldVista, same deal.
