MEDITECH's 6.0 Health Care Information System (HCIS) version 6.05 Electronic Health Record has received complete EHR inpatient certification. Now, all three of MEDITECH's platforms—MAGIC, Client/Server, and 6.0—are certified through the Drummond Group, under the Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) program.

Hospitals running MEDITECH's certified solutions have the software tools needed to meet the Stage 1 Meaningful Use measures required to qualify for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Our 6.0 HCIS version 6.05 certification encompassed both required and optional components, including: Patient Care and Patient Safety, Physician Care Manager, Emergency Department Management, Enterprise Medical Record, Pharmacy, Laboratory, Microbiology, Scanning and Archiving, Data Repository, Health Information Management, CCD Exchange Suite, Public Health Interfaces for Laboratory and Immunization Reporting, and Report Designer/Writer.

"The certification of our 6.0, Client/Server, and MAGIC platforms positions all of our customers for success as they lead the way to demonstrating Meaningful Use of electronic health records," states Howard Messing, MEDITECH President and CEO. "We are thrilled to be partnering with our customers during this very exciting time within our industry."
