EACH

The CCHIT's EHR Alternative Certification for Healthcare Providers or "EACH™" The EHR Alternative Certification for Healthcare Providers or "EACH" program was developed by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT). An EHR is an electronic health record or system.

The EACH Process The EACH process is considered an alternative to the standard CCHIT certification or ONC-ATCB certification. Due to the limitations of the certification model for vendors, in that many hospitals and health systems do not just have one EHR vendor, the EACH process is an alternative to EHR certification. The EHR process was created to close the gap for hospitals and providers that have a mix of EHR technology, some of which may be certified and other old, uncertified systems.
