SRS Health EHR Earns ONC Health IT Certification from Drummond Group LLC

MONTVALE, NJ --(Marketwired - August 03, 2017) - SRS Health, a leading provider of data-based HCIT solutions for high-performance specialty practices, announces that it has achieved Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC-Health IT) 2015 Edition Health IT Modules Certification via Drummond Group LLC, an Authorized Certification Body (ACB) that has been empowered to test software for compliance with the requirements of the federal government's program. The stamp of approval designates that the software offers the functionality that enables eligible providers to meet MIPS/Meaningful Use requirements, qualifying these organizations to receive payments under ongoing government programs.

This stamp of approval furthers the company's commitment to providing its customers with the continued ability to comply with the government's MACRA program as it evolves and to thereby increase their Medicare revenue. SRS is the first specialty-focused HCIT solution provider to have achieved this level of certification. Certification details are available on the Certified Health IT Product List website shortly.

SRS Health provides high-performance specialists with an end-to-end solution that addresses all aspects of the healthcare continuum -- from patient intake and engagement to outcomes management -- while also supporting the regulatory compliance that will soon become required for the success of any healthcare business. These technologies do away with template-driven data entry in favor of customized workflows, streamlining data collection and eliminating the data overload and physician-patient friction caused by many HCIT solutions. The result is true interoperability -- relevant data is captured without disrupting the quality of care or the patient experience, and high-volume specialists can exchange data with the patient's entire care team without worrying about potential miscommunications among technologies.

"Even though CMS' proposed rule allows for continued reporting with 2014 CEHRT next year, we are proceeding on schedule with our original certification plan to be ready for 2018," said Scott Ciccarelli, CEO, SRS Health. According to Lynn Scheps, SRS Health Vice President, Government Affairs, "Certification to the 2015-edition standards is an extremely challenging and resource-intensive process, as evidenced by the fact that so few vendors have achieved success so far. As we complete the certification process, we remain committed to delivering a product that facilitates MIPS success and supports our clients' transition to value-based care."
