Acmeware’s OneView Earns ONC-HIT Certification from Drummond Group

DEDHAM, Mass. - Dec. 8, 2015 - PRLog -- Acmeware’s OneView has achieved Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC-HIT) 2014 Edition Modular (Ambulatory) Certification via Drummond Group, an Authorized Certification Body (ACB) that has been empowered to test software for compliance with the requirements of the federal government’s program. The stamp of approval designates that the software offers the functionality that enables eligible providers and hospitals to meet Stage 1 and Stage 2 Meaningful Use requirements, qualifying these organizations to receive payments under the ongoing EHR adoption program.

Acmeware is helping MEDITECH hospitals prepare for their FY15 attestations by immediately releasing our certified 2014 Edition EHR Quality reporting application OneView 4.1. “Providing our clients with early access to their 2015 EHR performance measures offers them time to implement necessary changes in business practices to address any performance shortcomings” says Glen D’Abate, President of Acmeware.  Moreover, Acmeware’s commitment to Quality Reporting was the driving factor behind certifying for all 64 Ambulatory Measure.  We can now provide the most flexible reporting options for providers, including services rendered in an acute care setting.

To earn the certification, OneView was tested to be in accordance with applicable standards and certification criteria put forth by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

With more than a dozen years of testing experience across various industries, Drummond Group brings a high level of technical expertise to this process. Its healthcare experience also runs deep, having certified hundreds of EHRs since becoming an ACB in 2010.  In addition, Drummond Group acts as a certification authority in the Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS) and Controlled Substance Ordering Systems (CSOS) initiatives.

Drummond Group also offers a variety of programs that can make the testing process more palatable. For example, Drummond Group offers a Framework Document that helps software developers focus on specific 2014 edition criteria, clinical quality measures and testing options; an optional Wave Testing Approach that enables vendors to incrementally test for various certification criteria in phases, instead of all at once; and a Pre-Test Assessment Tool to gauge testing readiness.

OneView, which met the requirements for EHR Modular (Ambulatory) is a single solution to collect, attest, analyze, validate, and store (for audit) Quality Reporting data.  Click the following link to see the OneView Physician Quality Reporting Package: http://www.acmeware.com/physician-quality-reporting.aspx

“The government’s program is maturing and, therefore, becoming more demanding, as it is positioning itself to enable healthcare providers to truly transform how care is delivered.  As a result, software developers are being challenged to develop systems with advanced patient engagement, data transfer and interoperability functionality,” says Rik Drummond, CEO, Drummond Group Inc. “Our experience testing complex software in a variety of industries makes it possible for us to bring the sophisticated testing and certification services that the healthcare industry now needs to reach these ambitious goals.”

“This EHR Module is 2014 Edition compliant and has been certified by an ONC-ACB in accordance with the applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This certification does not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.”
