First ONC-ATCB Certified EHR – Drummond Group Wins
Written by: John
Drummond Group just posted the news of the first 3 EHR vendors which have been officially certified EHR for the ARRA EHR stimulus money. Looks like Drummond Group won the race to be the first to certify an EHR.
The interesting thing for me is the list of 3 EHR vendors that became the first certified EHR:
PARADIGM (QRS Inc.)
ifa EMR (ifa united i-tech Inc.)
ChartLogic EMR (ChartLogic, Inc.)
I consider myself pretty well informed about EMR vendors, but I only realy knew 1 of the 3 and I’d maybe heard of one other, but just by name. As all the ONC-ATCB certified vendors start completing their EHR certification, I think we’re going to learn about a WHOLE lot of EMR vendors that very few people knew about previously.
I also find it interesting that all 3 EHR vendors have already updated their website in some way to represent the new ONC-ATCB EHR certification.
Note: We need a new way to identify the certified EHR. ONC-ATCB just doesn’t have the right ring to it. I might work on this problem.

I want to facilitate a discussion at our clinic around various Go Live strategies; i.e. Big Bang versus one department at a time. Any recommended reading on pros & cons of each approach? Of course Practice Mgt will come up first; but then what about EHR for GYN, PEDS, Gen Med, Optometry, Dental, etc.. Thanks!
Wes, see the Heather Haugen book “Beyond Implementation” for one good “lessons learned” resource.
Thanks Bobby!
