ONC: EHR products lose certification

Laura Pedulli | | Health Exec | EMR/EHR

The Office of the National Coordinator on Health IT (ONC) revoked the certification of two EHR products and announced on April 25 that they no longer meet the requirements of Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs.

EHRMagic-Ambulatory and EHRMagic-Inpatient, both developed by EHRMagic of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., fail to meet required functionality thus providers using them are ineligible for ONC’s incentive programs, according to the press announcement.

ONC, and ONC certification body InfoGard Laboratories, both were alerted to problems with the products. With EHRMagic’s participation, InfoGard retested its EHR products for select requirements but they failed.

“We and our certification bodies take complaints and our follow-up seriously. By revoking the certification of these EHR products, we are making sure that certified electronic health record products meet the requirements to protect patients and providers,” said Farzad Mostashari, MD, in a statement.
