  4. Meaningful Use Update Process Continue to use National Priorities Partnership (NPP) framework for meaningful use criteria Work with NPP and HealthyPeople programs to identify HIT-sensitive objectives and measures appropriate for meaningful use criteria (exemplars) in 2013 and 2015 Gather public input on identified gaps in measures needed for MU criteria Examples: specialists, smaller practices and hospitals, safety-net providers, patient-supplied information Assess industry initial response to 2011 MU program Refine 2013 and 2015 MU criteria Address barriers to EHR adoption and mitigation strategies

  5. HIT Policy Committee Review of Initial Recommendations by the Certification and Adoption Workgroup Paul Egerman Marc Probst, Intermountain Healthcare August 14, 2009

  6. Recommendation 1 – Focus on Meaningful Use Implement a New Certification Process: Focus on Meaningful Use Objectives at a high level, less specificity Increase Specificity on Interoperability Comprehends that Optional Certifications may exist - Marketplace Advisory Services

  7. Recommendation 2 – Progress on Security, Privacy, and Interoperability Address all privacy and security policies described in ARRA and HIPAA, including audit trails and consent. Aggressively establish new, very specific requirements for Interoperability and data exchange. Create “test harnesses” that will enable purchasers easily self-test their software.

  8. Recommendation 3 – Objective and Transparent Process Separate Criteria definition from certification testing Allow Multiple Certification organizations With the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), establish accreditation organization and process

  9. Recommendation 4 – Flexible Software Sources Ensure that all EHR systems are certified against identical criteria, regardless of source Provide flexible processes for non-vendor software Provide for certification of components so EHRs can be purchased from multiple sources

  10. Recommendation 5 – Short Term Transition Leverage existing Certification work, whenever possible Establish Preliminary Certification Process so work can commence prior to completion of regulatory process For products that completed 2008 certification, permit an incremental certification process against “Gap Criteria,” which includes privacy review
