Technology Receives Modular EHR Certification

Julie Ritzer Ross | | Radiology Business | Business Intelligence
imageINFINITT North America, a provider of image and information management solutions for healthcare, yesterday announced that its INFINITT G3 RIS/PACS system has been tested and certified as meeting the Modular EHR requirements for ambulatory settings, in accordance with ONC-ATCB certification criteria. Certification by an ATCB (Authorized Testing and Certification Body) signifies that the product has satisfied the certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) for either eligible provider or hospital technology. The INFINITT RIS/PACS was certified through InfoGard, one of three ONC-authorized testing and certification bodies (ONC-ATCBs), on April 6. INFINITT North America's certification number is IG-2384-11-0057. ONC-ATCB 2011 certification conferred by InfoGuard does not represent an endorsement of the EHR technology by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nor does it guarantee the receipt of incentive payments. Microsoft Excel software was also required to demonstrate compliance with the selected certification criteria.
