By 2011, health care organizations must be able to produce and share an electronic summary record for every transition of care in order to receive maximum stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). MEDITECH is pleased to announce the availability of our Continuity of Care Document (CCD) Exchange Suite, which allows customers to access and exchange patient medical summaries in accordance with current industry standards when used with our 6.0 and Client/Server and MAGIC 5.6 applications.

The CCD Exchange Suite of interfaces allows MEDITECH's Health Care Information System to receive and display CCD documents from non-MEDITECH systems, and to compile and send a CCD document as a response to requests from other vendor systems or a Record Locator Service. The interfaces are based on the HITSP C32 specification, and communication messages support the IHE XDS Medical Summary Profiles.

For more details about MEDITECH's CCD Exchange Suite, please view our new flyer, and to see all of the latest information posted to our Interoperability & EHR Initiatives Portal, please visit our ARRA Resource section.
