Unibased ForSite2020 v7.0 Receives Electronic Health Record ONC-ATCB Certification By Drummond Group
ST. LOUIS - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Unibased Systems Architecture, Inc. (Unibased) ForSite2020 v7.0 has
received the federal government's "Meaningful Use" stamp of approval by
earning inpatient and outpatient modular Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Certification, effective January 28, 2011. The designation officially
deems the EHR software capable of enabling providers to qualify for
funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The
ForSite2020 v7.0 coordination of care features, as well as other
features associated with the Drummond Group test and evaluation process,
are included in the certification. ForSite2020 v7.0 was tested and
certified under the Drummond Group's Electronic Health Records Office of
the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body
(ONC-ATCB) program, and the EHR software is 2011/2012 compliant in
accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and
Human Services.
According to David White, Unibased Vice President of Application
Development, "ForSite2020 v7.0 includes the award winning access
management and surgery system integrated product set for which Unibased
is known. However, it is important to note that the certification
addresses both ambulatory care and inpatient features that are key to
the overall coordination of care, the patient itinerary, and
efficiencies realized by a more effective utilization of available
resources, which ultimately will result in lower costs per unit of
clinical service. ForSite2020 v7.0 will not only qualify for incentive
funds under ARRA but also place providers in a highly positive
competitive position through convenience to their physicians and
improved ratings for patient satisfaction." ForSite2020 v7.0 was
released to the Unibased client base in November 2010 as a routine
production release.
Unibased was assisted in the certification process by The Kelzon Group
(TKG). Frank Poggio, TKG President, noted "To date, Unibased
ForSite2020 v7.0 is only one of a few 'best of breed' products to
receive ONC-ATCB certification. With hospitals needing every assist they
can get to meeting Meaningful Use requirements, Unibased EHR
certification will be an important tool in meeting their MU goals."
