What is the difference between an ARRA-certified EMR and a CCHIT-certified EMR?
Good question! The simple answer is, ARRA-certified EMRs meet all the standards required by the government for providers to be eligible to receive their incentive money. CCHIT-certified EMRs may also meet all the standards, but are generally much more sophisticated, geared toward large medical networks (i.e. hospitals) and are more expensive.
