Monterey, CA (December 01, 2010) –
Integritas, Inc. announced today that its Agility EHR 10 is 2011/2012 compliant and was certified as a Complete EHR on December 1, 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).
“We promised our clients and prospective clients that we would achieve ARRA certification in 2010, and we are proud to have kept that promise,” said Ed Stroupe, Vice President. “Agility EHR 10 is now both CCHIT 2011® Certified Ambulatory EHR and ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certified. We believe this dual certification has been accomplished by very few Complete EHR vendors in the urgent care / occupational medicine specialties, and we are proud to be among those few. We have repeatedly demonstrated our commitment to provide EHR software that meets the latest national standards, and we will continue our work to meet standards as they evolve in the future.”
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.
“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.
Agility EHR 10’s certification number is CC-1112-615770-1. 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.
The clinical quality measures to which Agility EHR 10 has been certified include:
NQF 0002 Testing for Children with Pharyngitis
NQF 0013 Hypertension: Blood Pressure Measurement
NQF 0024 Weight Assessment and Counseling
NQF 0028 Tobacco Use Assessment and Cessation
NQF 0031 Breast Cancer Screening
NQF 0038 Childhood Immunization Status

Agility EHR 10 is also certified in CCHIT’s separate and independently developed certification program. Agility EHR 10 is a CCHIT Certified® 2011 Ambulatory EHR. Integritas has certified its EHR technology in both programs to provide greater assurance to its customers.
