The public comment period for expanded 2011 Certification Criteria is open through December 11, 2009.

Comments will be accepted on the first draft of criteria for Behavioral Health electronic health records (EHRs) – both standalone and as an optional add-on to Comprehensive Ambulatory EHR certification. After additional rounds of comment and refinement, these new certification options will be made available to vendors in July 2010. Comments will only be taken through the Commission’s Web site at http://www.cchit.org/participate/public-comment
