Westbrook's Fortis Receives ONC-ATCB Certification by Drummond Group
Certification Confirms That Fortis Content Management Software Meets Pertinent EHR Meaningful Use Requirements
(firmenpresse) - LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 02/21/12 -- -- Westbrook's content management software has received the federal government's
"meaningful use" stamp of approval by earning Modular EHR Certification.
The designation officially deems the electronic health record (EHR)
software capable of enabling providers to qualify for funding under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Tested and certified under
the Drummond Group's Electronic Health Records Office of the National
Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) program,
is 2011/2012 compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by
the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Fortis v. 2.5 Service Pack 2, which met the requirements for ambulatory and
inpatient modular EHR, is content management software that is being used
successfully in hospitals, medical offices, clinics and pharmaceutical
companies. The software captures and archives a variety of information
formats from paper and electronic forms, EOBs, handwritten notes and emails
to X-rays, audio and video. This information can be shared between
locations and departments or made part of an automated workflow. Fortis
integrates with other business and healthcare management software and
provides secure Web access to information to improve service to patients,
insurance companies and healthcare staff.
"This certification of Fortis confirms that our software meets recognized
healthcare industry benchmarks for interoperability, integration and data
security," said Einar Haukeland, CEO and president of Westbrook.
"Healthcare providers can now leverage our software to not only improve
administrative functions and reduce operational costs, but to also achieve
meaningful use and qualify for incentive funds under ARRA."
Drummond Group's ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification program tests and
certifies that EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for either eligible
provider or hospital technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the
EHR systems of certified vendors are qualified to receive federal stimulus
monies upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology -- a key
component of the federal government's push to improve clinical care
delivery through the adoption and effective use of EHRs by U.S. healthcare
providers.
"The need to leverage information technology in the healthcare industry is
huge -- as the quality of care and efficiency benefits that come with
computerization can really make a difference in the overall patient
experience," said Rik Drummond, CEO of the Drummond Group. "We're ready to
help transform the industry by providing the sophisticated software testing
services that ensure that vendors and hospitals are offering systems that
are capable of meeting the meaningful use standards required to obtain
incentive funds as well as the rich functionality required to move the
clinical care needle forward. We have been testing software for more than a
decade and are ready to leverage our extensive experience handling
sophisticated systems in complex industries as well as dealing with
complicated technical issues such as interoperability and security."
This EHR Module is 2011/2012 compliant and has been certified by Drummond
Group, an ONC-ATCB approved to certify any complete or modular EHR both
ambulatory and inpatient, in accordance with the applicable certification
criteria adopted by the Secretary 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.
