Napier Healthcare believes it is set to further elevate industry standards of care delivery and cost efficiencies across the healthcare continuum.
Princeton, New Jersey, February 17, 2015 – Napier Healthcare, a leading healthcare technology and services provider, today announced that the company’s Hospital Information System (HIS), Version 2 .1 has achieved ONC HIT 2014 Edition Complete EHR Certification, which designates that the software is capable of supporting eligible hospitals with meeting the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Meaningful Use measures required to qualify for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). HIS 2 .1 was certified on February 2, 2015 by ICSA Labs, an Office of the National Coordinator-Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) and is compliant in accordance with applicable criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Deployable on a cloud platform, Napier Healthcare’s HIS solution is a modular, scalable and integrated system that supports critical care hospital functions including clinical, administration, financials and patient management. It is built to empower hospitals with the tools they need to help enhance operational efficiencies, reduce medical errors and heighten the quality of care and patient experience.
“We have invested a significant amount of resources for the ONC HIT certification to enable providers using our solutions to qualify for the Meaningful Use financial incentives,” said Tirupathi Karthik, CEO, Napier Healthcare. “We have always prided ourselves in developing robust solutions following stringent quality guidelines. This certification underscores our commitment to continuously enhance our offerings to help improve patient care through better clinical decision support, care coordination and patient engagement.”
ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon, offers vendor-neutral testing and certification. ONC HIT 2014 Edition Certification is granted to those technologies that are capable of meeting the more rigorous testing criteria developed to support providers and hospitals who wish to demonstrate Stage 2 meaningful use, which focuses on the capability of health IT to deliver higher quality patient care and exchange clinical information securely.
HIS 2 .1’s certification number is 150012R00. ONC HIT certification conferred by ICSA Labs does not represent an endorsement of the certified EHR technology by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
