CCHIT Chair, Dr. Karen Bell, on stage 2 meaningful use and EHR certification
Posted by: Jenny Laurello

At HIMSS11 this year, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down and chat with Dr. Karen Bell, Chair of the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT).
In our interview, Dr. Bell discusses CCHIT’s stance on meaningful use and what to expect in stage 2, the organization’s role as a certification body, thoughts on Dr. Blumenthal’s departure from the ONC, and the rate at which health information technology is moving forward to help providers achieve the highest quality of patient care.
