CONWAY, NH – The Echo Group’s Clinician’s Desktop™ has been tested and certified under the Drummond Group’s Electronic Health Records Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) program (Certification ID Number: 04282014‐1976‐1). This EHR software is compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

“For more than 30 years, Echo has delivered the software tools organizations need to succeed in the highly changeable landscape of behavioral health.” said Joe Viger, Vice President of Business Development for The Echo Group. Echo’s 2014 Complete Ambulatory Certification of Clinician’s Desktop™ is affirmation of this commitment to our customers. In contrast to a Modular Certification approach, Complete Certification provides our customers the opportunity to access Stage 2 opportunities without taking on the responsibility of additional requirements. Echo is excited to have addressed Complete Certification requirements in a way that not only achieved Certification but also positions Clinician’s Desktop™ as an EHR our customers can rely on for years to come to support coordinated care and evolving healthcare trends.”

Drummond Group’s ONC-ACB certification program 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.

Clinician’s Desktop™, which met the requirements for Complete Ambulatory EHR Certification, is a flexible electronic health record designed for behavioral health and integrated care featuring Echo’s intuitive Visual Health Record (VHR) user interface.
