committed to developing solutions that help healthcare providers to improve patient safety, optimize workflows and deliver more cost-effective care initiatives," explained Janet Dillione, president, Health Services, the Healthcare IT Division of Siemens Medical Solutions. "We believe this certification clearly demonstrates that our Soarian platform is one such solution that can aid organizations in meeting all of these crucial goals. We look forward to continuing to work with our customers, partners, industry colleagues, and the Certification Commission to drive EHR standardization and information technology adoption."

CCHIT's certification compliance criteria and its design for a certification inspection process have been thoroughly researched, taking into account the state of the art of EHRs and available standards, and comparing certification processes in other industries and other countries.

The inspection process is based on real-life medical scenarios designed to test products rigorously against the clinical needs of providers and the quality and safety needs of healthcare consumers and payers. One script, for example, recreates a scenario of a middle-aged man admitted through the emergency department after sustaining fractures in an automobile accident. The script tests the ability of the EHR to provide clinical decision support during the ordering and administration of medications, and to track whether laboratory and radiology orders have been entered and received.
