The standard and implementation specifications specified in §170.204(b)(3).
The standard and implementation specifications specified in §170.204(b)(4).
Optional. Request that patient-specific education resources be identified in accordance with the standard in §170.207(g)(2).
Revised to reflect this criterion is in scope for the CEHRT definition.
Revised to include clarification for Infobutton in the optional provision for certification.
Revised to include clarification that the criterion is focused on supporting a health care professional or his or her office staff; or a software program or service that would interact directly with the certified health IT (See “applies to entire criterion” section).
Further clarified the capabilities that must be demonstrated for health IT to be certified to this criterion (See “applies to entire criterion” section).
Privacy and Security: This certification criterion was adopted at § 170.315(a)(13). As a result, an ONC-ACB must ensure that a product presented for certification to a § 170.315(a) “paragraph (a)” criterion includes the privacy and security criteria (adopted in § 170.315(d)) within the overall scope of the certificate issued to the product.
A Health IT Module must be able to electronically identify for a user patient-specific education resources based on data included in the patient’s problem list and medication list. [see generally 80 FR 16823 and 62624; see 80 FR 16813-16814 for the capabilities included in a certification criterion compared to the 2014 Edition; see also 77 FR 54216-54217] User is defined as a health care professional or his or her office staff; or a software program or service that would interact directly with the certified health IT. [see 80 FR 62611; 77 FR 54168] A “user” is not a patient for the purposes of this criterion. [see also 77 FR 54168] Further, as discussed in the 2014 Edition final rule, the 2014 Edition § 170.314(a)(15) patient-specific education resources criterion was designed to support the correlated objective and measure under the EHR Incentive Programs, which requires clinicians to use clinically relevant information from CEHRT to identify patient-specific education resources and provide them to the patient. [77 FR 54216, 54217]. The 2015 Edition § 170.315(a)(13) patient-specific education resources criterion was similarly designed and serves the same purpose. [80 FR 16814, 62615, 62876, 62878, 62880, 62883, 62885, and 62887] This means that health IT may be certified to this criterion if it can demonstrate that it can support a user identifying, either manually or through automation, clinically relevant patient-specific education resources based on a patient’s problem list and medication list.
HL7 Version 3 Implementation Guide: Context-Aware Knowledge Retrieval (Infobutton), Release 4.
Developers can choose to either implement the Service-Oriented Architecture IG or the Context-Aware Knowledge Retrieval IG to meet certification requirements.
Technical outcome – A user can request that patient-specific education resources be identified based on the patient’s preferred language identified with the codes in the RFC 5646 standard.
This provision is optional for certification.
