Fact: CCHIT is excluding specialty-specific EMRs from their certification process. The folks at IO Practiceware - a company that develops, implements and supports ophthalmology-specific electronic medical records - have published an open letter urging CCHIT to be more inclusive and provide options for smaller, more specialized EMR companies.
