(2) Ambulatory setting only. Provider’s name and office contact information.
(3) Inpatient setting only. Admission and discharge dates and locations; discharge
instructions; and reason(s) for hospitalization.
(B) Download. (1) Electronically download an ambulatory summary or inpatient summary
(as applicable to the EHR technology setting for which certification is requested) in human
readable format or formatted according to the standard adopted at § 170.205(a)(3) that

that were created as a result of a transition of care (pursuant to the capability expressed in
the certification criterion adopted at paragraph (b)(2) of this section).
(C) Transmit to third party. (1) Electronically transmit the ambulatory summary or inpatient
summary (as applicable to the EHR technology setting for which certification is requested)
created in paragraph (e)(1)(i)(B)(1) of this section in accordance with the standard specified in §

Status

Proposal

  • (EMR Direct feature is complete and committed to 4.1.2 codebase)
  • The view, download and transmit mechanisms are complete, however still need to ensure a summary is created per standards and that logging is per standards.
  • I think now need to support CCD(a) to accomplish this item.
  • This item will be supported by the ZH Healthcare Care Coordination Module: http://sourceforge.net/p/zhopenemr/wiki/Care%20Coordination%20Module/
  • Gap analyis for this by ZH Healthcare (11/17/2013):
