EHR Certification

We are very pleased to announce that Rexpert's integrated electronic health record, AuroraEHR, is now officially certified! We passed the rigorous testing on November 20, 2014 and are now listed as a certified EHR on the ICSA Labs website.

What does this mean, you ask?

Meaningful Use requires physicians and practices to use EHR technology that is certified according to the standards set by CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) and ONC (Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology). If physicians want to avoid the penalties associated with not complying with Meaningful Use, they must use a certified EHR.

These standards ensure that the EHR is secure enough and capable of all necessary functions to assist a physican in complying with Meaningful Use criteria. More importantly, they get at the reasons Meaningful Use is implemented in the first place: assuring all patients of quality healthcare. A certified EHR, like our AuroraEHR, gives both physicians and patients confidence that all patient data is kept confidential, maintained securely, and can be transmitted securely to other systems when appropriate.

We've worked hard to make our system extremely flexible and set up all the groundwork so that the workflow is customized to your practice and the way you see your patients.

If you'd like to take a look at what we have to offer, we'd be happy to do a demo!
