The lab will offer IT and data vendors two certifications for quality reporting capabilities.
The National Committee for Quality Assurance’s eMeasure testing laboratory has been approved by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT to be the newest ONC-Authorized Testing Lab for the IT Certification program.
