The Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC) is soliciting input from industry stakeholders on 12 existing and three new accreditation programs, according to an announcement on May 29.

Specifically, EHNAC is seeking comment on three new Direct Trust Agent Accreditation Programs and revisions to existing programs—accreditation criteria addressing the new omnibus rule and cloud computing specifications. The open comment period is from May 29 through July 29.  

“The latest criteria versions of EHNAC’s programs have been revised in coordination with emerging industry initiatives such as the omnibus rule and cloud computing specifications to offer the best reflection of industry standards for health data exchange,” Mark Gingrich, commissioner and criteria committee chair of EHNAC, said in a statement.
