The Fox Group’s EHR certification consulting services may be just what your Health IT Development Company needs to gain a competitive edge.
Consider the following …
The original HITECH Act incentives for eligible professionals and hospitals to adopt an electronic health record system have shifted to disincentives for not implementing certified electronic health record technology – CEHRT. Eligible hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals must certify to the use of CHERT. And as of 2025, this certification must include compliance with the 21st Century Cures Act. This requires that developers take no action to limit or restrict compatibility or interoperability of their CEHRT.
“Let The Fox Group help you deliver a marketable product in this competitive field.”
In addition to helping you with meeting the latest CEHRT criteria, we can help you with ideas on enhancing your EHR in areas such as reporting, integration and Patient Access Portal design.
Some of the current criteria raise the bar in significant ways, for instance:
- Implement Clinical Decision Support (CDS) interventions focused on improving performance on high-priority health conditions.
- Provide patients with timely electronic access to health information and patient specific education materials.
- Patient engagement and coordination of care: Use CEHRT to engage with patients or their authorized representatives for improved coordination of care.
- Public health and clinical data registry reporting: The provider actively engages with a public health agency or clinical data registry to submit electronic public health data in a meaningful way using CEHRT.
Health IT Developers must also apply user-centered design methodologies to the development of 8 specific capabilities and identify a quality management system used in developing the software.
