Stage 2 Final Rule will be published 9/4/12

The Stage 2 Final Rule will be published 9/4/2012 according to The Office of the Federal Register's Public Inspection Desk.  Generally, the Final Rule is effective 30 days after the publish date, which, in this case, would be 10/4/2012.  It is on this date that the Stage 1 Certification Program will sunset meaning that ATCB's can no longer accept requests to certify systems on Stage 1 and anyone who has signed up with an ATCB to certify their system on Stage 1 will have 6 months to complete this certification. 

If you still need to certify you system on Stage 1, sign up with a Proctor soon!

Stage 1 - There is still time!

If you want to certify your system on Stage 1 of HITECH Certification, there is still time!

While the Final Rule was released to the public yesterday, it has not yet officially been published in the Federal Register.  Once it is published in the Federal Register, it typically becomes effective 30 days later. 

The good news for those people who wish to certify on Stage 1 is that the Temporary Certification Program does not sunset until the ONC Final Rule is effective.  On the date that the ONC Final Rule becomes effective, ATCB's can no longer accept new contracts to certify systems on the Temporary Certification Program - Stage 1. 

The Office of the Federal Register's Public Inspection Desk states that the CMS Final Rule (MU Incentives) is set to be published on 9/4/12.  There is currently no date listed for the ONC Final Rule (Certification).

Dynamic Code Mapper


Mapping codes from one system to another can be a big job, and not a pleasant one!

Many of our clients face a long, tedious process of mapping codes from one system to another. For example, LabCorp and Quest , the two major reference labs both require orders to be submitted with proprietary codes unlike those used elsewhere.

Our challenge was to develop and deploy a user‐friendly but powerful tool to automate as much of the time‐consuming mapping process as possible while ensuring maximum accuracy.

First, we developed a traditional Windows application to be used on a local PC for code mapping and that was successful in pilot testing. 

Next we developed our optimal solution which is a web-based application that provides easy access and collaboration in a multi‐user environment, while at the same time eliminates the need to install software locally and avoids deployment and installation issues. 

The web‐based version is available via subscription and is offered for a limited time with a one month free trial.

With the Dynamic Code Mapper the dread of matching codes and descriptions is now a task that can be confidently accomplished with ease and efficiency.

Features of the Dynamic Code Mapper: 
  • Easy CSV/ Excel file upload
  • Automatic cleanup of imported Codes/Descriptions 
  • Codes matched with probabilistic logic 
  • Minimal keystrokes to tie possible matches 
  • Save, Share, & Export Projects
