USING THE CHPL
“Certified products are identified with the name of the certifying ONC-ATCB, the ONC certification number, vendor information, product information, and product version number. The CHPL is currently sorted alphabetically, by Product Name.

“EHR products classified as Complete EHR have been certified to meet all the mandatory certification criteria as identified in the Standards and Certification Criteria Final Rule (45 CFR Part 170 Part III). Complete EHR products listed on the CHPL have been certified to meet all of the General Criteria listed in Section 170.302, plus all of the criteria applicable to a type of practice setting. (In the Final Rule, the certification criterion for Accounting for Disclosures (§ 170.302(w) ) is optional for systems or technologies seeking certification and may not appear.) The products identified as Inpatient EHR products and listed under the Inpatient Practice Setting additionally fulfill the specific criteria defined in 45 CFR Part 170.306. The Certified EHR products identified as Ambulatory EHR products and listed under the Ambulatory Practice Setting additionally fulfill all of the specific criteria defined in 45 CFR Part 170.304.

“EHR Modules are those technologies that are certified to at least one of the certification criteria as defined in the Standards and Certification Criteria Final Rule. Due to the regulatory requirement that EHR Module technologies be certified to the security criteria elaborated in the Final Rule, many EHR Modules will be certified to more than one of the regulatory criteria.

“To determine which criteria a particular product is certified to meet, click on the Certification Status link at the end of the row for that listed product.
