CCHIT not about company viability
by John Norris on Friday August 03, 2007 @ 12:33 PM

| Feel free to correct me if I am wrong:
I thought earlier versions of CCHIT certification didn't really address the viability of the company. I understand they will/may be including more of that in later certifications.
That said, I think folks may put too much into CCHIT certification, not understanding what is being certified, and what is not.
One can also volunteer at CCHIT. |

That's absolutely correct and exactly the point, people think that just because something is CCHIT certified that the company is 'safe' or 'not going to go away soon'. Right now it does not protect customers from the 'black box' practice of medicine, interoperability problems, freedom of an organization to grow and extend its own nervous system beyond what the EMR corporate agenda is, non-portable training, monopolistic pricing, business failure, buyouts, lengthy delays for needed software, chronic integration problems and unverifiable security. -- IV

CCHIT is a vendor-driven organization who's goal is to sell more product for their members. It is best to think of CCHIT as a mere advertising vehicle. CCHIT will facilitate the digital medical world we all want for ourselves and each other.

One should not volunteer at CCHIT. They are making a killing on certifications ($30,000+$$$$$ per product). They have plenty of money on their own. They don't need yours.
In the same sense, AMA makes a killing on licensing of CPT codes. Everyone visiting this site hopes for transparent and open source solutions to thrive in the healthcare industry, yet the underlying data used in such systems is still encumbered by large corporations. HL7 is the same, charging big bucks just to see the specifications that are touted as enabling interoperability.
