The document summarizes an upcoming open forum discussion hosted by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT) regarding certification of open source electronic health records (EHRs). The forum will discuss issues and concerns of open source developers, such as certification fees and versioning requirements. CCHIT develops EHR certification criteria through a collaborative process involving multiple stakeholders and seeks to ensure a diverse mix of EHR vendors of varying sizes can achieve certification. The certification process involves documentation review, virtual demonstrations observed by jurors, and technical testing to evaluate functionality, interoperability, security and privacy.
