Jardogs, a dealer in patient access solutions, announced that its FollowMyHealth Universal Health Record v1.0 is 2011/2012 compliant and has received ONC-ATCB Certification.
Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) launched the ONC-Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) certification program for electronic health records to certify that EHRs are capable of meeting the 2011/2012 criteria to support Stage 1 meaningful use as required by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Jardogs’ FollowMyHealth UHR features intuitive, user-friendly design and does not have any software and hardware overhead, and is specifically designed to allow organizations to meet the increasing demand to provide immediate, secure and accurate health information to their patients along with the communication mechanisms to promote shared health management responsibilities.
FollowMyHealth is the next generation patient portal that combines patient/provider communication with a patient managed personal health record. By accessing their personal health records, patients can improve their interactions with health care providers, make decisions about their health, and improve the quality of care they receive.
Jim Hewitt, CEO of Jardogs explained that the FollowMyHealth solution provides community-level connectivity for patients and providers in a truly meaningful way. The company believes this certification, its use of the Microsoft Windows Azure platform, and the capabilities of its Universal Health Record have created the new standard for patient access solutions.
Jardogs has been acknowledged to have created a secure national infrastructure that allows aggregation of patient data from multiple systems across organizations, communities, and the country, seamlessly communicating that data discretely to healthcare providers via the patients' consent.
CCHIT officials exclaimed that CCHIT is pleased to be testing and certifying products so that companies are now able to offer these products to providers who wish to purchase and implement certified EHR technology and achieve meaningful use in time for the 2011-2012 incentives.
