BioMedix, Inc.'s TRAKnet Practice Management Software Receives (CCHIT(R)) ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 Certification

ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMedix announced today that TRAKnet Practice Management Software 2.0 is 2011/2012 compliant and was certified as an EHR Module on October 21, 2010 by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT®), an ONC-ATCB, in accordance with the applicable Eligible Provider certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The 2011/2012 criteria support the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

John Romans, BioMedix President and CEO stated, "This achievement represents a milestone that we are particularly proud of. We believe this certification validates that we are the leading EHR company in our space and serves as another example of our commitment and dedication to delivering world class products and services to the podiatric physician community."

The ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification program tests and certifies that Complete EHRs meet all of the 2011/2012 criteria and EHR Modules meet one or more but not all of the criteria approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) for either eligible provider or hospital technology. Companies offering ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certified EHR modules may return to test additional criteria and certify their products as Complete EHRs later. Companies certifying products early in the ONC-ATCB certification process must quickly adapt their products to meet the evolving nature of the NIST test procedures, particularly for electronic prescribing. ONC-ATCB product certification updates will be available at http://www.cchit.org as they occur.

"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," said Karen M. Bell, M.D., M.S.S., Chair, CCHIT.

TRAKnet Practice Management Software 2.0's certification number is CC-1112-101360-1. ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification conferred by CCHIT does not represent an endorsement of the certified EHR technology by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services nor does it guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.
