Comments on: Life After De-installing CCHIT http://blog.srssoft.com/2009/04/life-after-de-installing-cchit/ From Evan Steele, CEO SRSsoft Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:12:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Charles Wilson http://blog.srssoft.com/2009/04/life-after-de-installing-cchit/comment-page-1/#comment-9681 Charles Wilson Sun, 25 Jul 2010 06:35:20 +0000 http://blog.srssoft.com/?p=243#comment-9681 Wow, late to this post. However, i have always supported a practice's decision to not look at the meager incentive money but look at the benefits an EMR will provide. My clients are more interested in that because the only reason why someone would want to go for the CCHIT certified EMR is because of the incentive program. If you are not looking for that money, then a non-CCHIT certified system is best for you. Wow, late to this post.

Help me understand your thinking. Is it: "We're not CCHIT certified and don't intend to become certified." "We're not CCHIT certified but would like to be HITECH certified if the certification criteria were more reasonable" "We're not CCHIT certified but intend to be HITECH certified as some point in the future" something else? what I'm getting at is understanding how you present to physicians groups the probability that they will get ANY $$ from the Feds when they purchase you EHR: The probability certainly isn't 100% since you're not CCHIT certified today. but is it 0%? or somewhere in between 100% and 0% depending on how the certification process gets defined?

Help me understand your thinking. Is it:

“We’re not CCHIT certified and don’t intend to become certified.”

“We’re not CCHIT certified but would like to be HITECH certified if the certification criteria were more reasonable”

“We’re not CCHIT certified but intend to be HITECH certified as some point in the future”

something else? what I’m getting at is understanding how you present to physicians groups the probability that they will get ANY $$ from the Feds when they purchase you EHR: The probability certainly isn’t 100% since you’re not CCHIT certified today. but is it 0%? or somewhere in between 100% and 0% depending on how the certification process gets defined?

We work with several SRS Hybrid EMR customers who, although, they are interested in the incentives provided for EMR, are extremeley leary about the disruption it will cause to their practice.
