The ONC 2014 Edition criteria support both Stage 1 and 2 meaningful use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). "We believe this initial certification positions 4medica's iEHR Cloud Ambulatory Solution to offer physician practices an easy to use, rapidly installable and affordable SaaS solution to qualify for the rigorous Stage 2 meaningful use requirements," said Oleg Bess, M.D., 4medica's CEO. "One of very few certified cloud-hosted electronic health records for the ambulatory care setting, the 4medica iEHR helps physicians streamline workflow and exchange information to enhance and coordinate quality care. In a few weeks, 4medica will have complete certification in place for physician practices, putting them well ahead of and prepared for the October 2014 attestation date."

Companies offering ONC HIT certified EHR modules may return to test additional ONC 2014 Edition criteria and certify their products as Complete EHRs later.
