NOTE: The EHR and EHR module list below has been reordered alphabetically according to vendor name by e-Healthcare Marketing and taken from the ONC list officially dated October 5, 2010. ONC’s official list can be found at http://onc-chpl.force.com/ehrcert

The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health IT at last published its official list of tested and certified EHRs and EHR modules on October 8, 2010. Possible delays of only a few days between CCHIT sending ONC its list of tested and certified products and having the list validated by ONC, and ONC’s using a new platform from its HITRC (Health IT Research Center) and Partners, led to those in Health IT being baffled for a few days as to the status of the official list of ONC-ATCB’s (Authorized Testing and Certification bodies) certified, approved and ONC-validated EHRs. The waiting of those watching too closely is over.

Excerpted from ONC on October 8, 2010:
The ONC Certified HIT Product List (CHPL) provides a comprehensive listing of Complete EHRs and EHR Modules that have been tested and certified under the Temporary Certification Program.

Each Complete EHR and EHR Module listed below has been tested and certified by an ONC-Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ATCB). The ONC-ATCB has reported certain required information about the Complete EHR or EHR Module to ONC and we have validated these reports. Certified EHR technologies are identified with the name of the certifying ATCB, the ONC certification number, vendor information, product information, and product version number.

Please note: The CHPL lists only those EHR technologies that have been tested, certified, and reported to ONC by an ONC-ATCB, with reports validated by ONC. Only those EHR technologies appearing on the ONC-Certified Health IT Product List may be granted the reporting number that will be accepted by CMS for purposes of attestation under the EHR (“meaningful use”) incentives programs.

EHR technology classified as Complete EHRs are certified to meet all applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary in the Standards and Certification Criteria Final Rule (45 CFR Part 170 subpart C). In the Standards and Certification Criteria Final Rule, the Accounting for Disclosures certification criterion (§170.302(w)) is optional for EHR technologies and may not appear.

EHR Modules are those EHR technologies that have been tested and certified to at least one of the certification criteria adopted by the Secretary in the Standards and Certification Criteria Final Rule. Due to the regulatory requirement that EHR Modules be tested and certified to the security criteria, as elaborated in the Temporary Certification Program Final Rule, EHR Modules will typically be tested and certified to more than one of the adopted certification criteria.

The CHPL provides a snapshot of the current listing of certified EHR technologies, and is updated as newly certified EHR technologies are reported by ONC-ATCBs to ONC and validated.

To determine which criterion an EHR technology is certified to meet, select “Certification Status” below for a listed product. The link will take you to the Product Certification Matrix indicating which of the Certification Criteria the product has been tested, certified, and reported to meet.

Please note: This is Version 1.0 of the Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL). Version 2.0 is under development and is expected to provide additional information, such as a list of the Clinical Quality Measures to which a given product was tested; and additional functionality, such as different ways to query and sort the data for viewing. The later version will also provide the above-mentioned reporting number that will be accepted by CMS for purposes of attestation under the EHR (“meaningful use”) incentives programs. Please send suggestions and comments regarding the Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL) to ONC.certification@hhs.gov, with “CHPL” in the subject line.
