Products that have achieved comprehensive CCHIT certification for 2011 fall into one of four domains -- electronic prescription (eRx) systems; and EHR systems for ambulatory care, emergency rooms and inpatient facilities.

In addition, there are three levels of CCHIT certification: premarket certification, which is given to new products and is contingent on their use being verified; eRx conditional certification, which according to CCHIT, is contingent on the verification of a system’s “ability to conduct medication history, formulary and eligibility checking through a national network for electronic-prescribing transactions,” and full certification.

The CCHIT comprehensive certification is valid until Dec. 31, 2012. This tip will be updated periodically as CCHIT adds more products to the list.
