Perceptive Software's ImageNow Receives ONC-ATCB Certification

Perceptive Software's Image Now has received the federal government's "meaningful use" stamp of approval by earning Modular EHR Certification.
Perceptive Software, a stand-alone business unit within Lexmark International, builds enterprise content management software to help organizations effortlessly manage the entire lifecycle of their documents and information, fueling greater operational efficiency.

 The designation officially deems the electronic health record (EHR) software capable of enabling providers to qualify for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Tested and certified under the Drummond Group's Electronic Health Records Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) program, the EHR software is 2011/2012 compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

"ImageNow's certification from  Drummond Group Inc., the trusted software test lab, provides effective and efficient electronic health record (EHR) testing to healthcare information technology vendors and hospitals. The group speaks to the commitment of Perceptive Software to the healthcare industry, and more specifically, our healthcare customers," said Scott Coons, president and CEO, Perceptive Software. "These certifications allow our customers to feel confident that they can utilize ImageNow functionality to satisfy applicable meaningful use requirements."

Drummond Group's ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification program tests and certifies that EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for either eligible provider or hospital technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the EHR systems of certified vendors are qualified to receive federal stimulus monies upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology -- a key component of the federal government's push to improve clinical care delivery through the adoption and effective use of EHRs by U.S. healthcare providers.
