The document discusses the certification of the RPMS EHR system. It provides background on how CCHIT was previously the sole certification body but faced scrutiny. The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) is developing new plans with NIST and authorized testing and certification bodies (ATCBs). CCHIT hopes to be the first ATCB certified under the new rules. Leadership and subject matter experts are helping guide the process, which involves multiple agencies and has faced delays finalizing requirements but is expected to be ready for testing and certification of systems like RPMS by late fall/early winter.
