ICSA Labs is seeking qualified applicants to help pilot test the new 2014 Edition Criteria. Pilot testing will afford candidates the opportunity to preview new testing methodologies and test steps and provide critical feedback to help both ICSA Labs and the Office of the National Coordinator drive improvement into the new test procedures and test tools required for 2014 Edition Certification. ICSA Labs will provide an overview of the pilot process and further details on how to participate. EHR Technology developers that can certify against the complete set of criteria (either Ambulatory or Inpatient domain) are preferred, however, EHR modules will also be pilot tested to provide additional feedback and perspectives.
ICSA Labs is pleased to announce its distinction as an ONC-Authorized Certification Body. The scope of this authorization is for the certification of Complete EHRs and EHR Modules that have been successfully tested using approved test methodologies. In addition to being authorized by ONC, ICSA Labs met the requirements necessary to attain status as an Accredited Testing Lab (ATL) by NIST's National Voluntary Lab Accreditation Program and accreditation by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a certification body for the ONC HIT Certification program. To that end, ICSA Labs will continue to provide both testing and certification services against the ONC-approved Meaningful Use criteria.
