Saying that forcing standards is a good thing sounds pretty, but why? Most EMRs are only tools that help physicians get the job done. Let the enduser- the adult, smart physician, decide what features they want in their EMR. Forcing standards onto a market in a way that favors the few "enterprise" EMR vendors is WRONG. We need to end CCHIT and let market forces move HIT as it's done briskly in the past 5 years. More on this at http://emrupdate.com and on our statement on the controversy at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cchit. Cheers, Al CCHIT has no value and its affect on market competition, innovation, and eventually on EMR prices is going to be a big negative.

I'd like to note, however, that the certifications to date have been of ambulatory EMRs, not systems for hospitals. A cert process for hospital-based EMRs is in the works.
