SourceMedical, a provider of ambulatory surgery center and specialty hospital management and clinical software solutions, has announced version 4.1 of its Vision Electronic Health Record system has achieved full inpatient EHR certification from the Drummond Group.
This certification indicates SourceMedical's Vision EHR system has been deemed compliant with criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services for Meaningful Use, according to a news release. This certification enables users of the system to pursue funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
"Achieving full inpatient certification benefits both our ASC and specialty hospital clients," said Scott Palmer, president and COO, SourceMedical Surgery Division, in the release. "We are partnering with our current inpatient clients and prospects implementing Vision Specialty Hospital to allow them to demonstrate meaningful use and qualify for stimulus funding. Our ASC clients will benefit by implementing an EHR from a vendor that is proactively invested in achieving the most challenging certification standard despite the fact that an ASC EHR standard does not yet exist. It provides confirmation to our ASC clients that we are well-prepared to fulfill the Vision EHR Compliance Guarantee commitment we offered in late 2009."
Vision EHR can provide facilities with a single database solution to help meet the needs of all departments of a specialty hospital or an ASC, according to the release. The Vision management system is currently installed in nearly 500 facilities.
