Targets:
National Institute of Standards and Technology along with its accredited certification bodies use EHR functional profiles like the CR FP as a basis for certifying EHR systems
Clinical research institutions and system vendors seeking certification under ACBs and the European Institute for Health Records for certifying EHR systems
Benefits:
Electronic healthcare systemscan deliver regulatory authorities with proof that data used to support claims made regarding the safety and efficiency of new medicines can be traced back to a 'reliable' data source while using to collect source data for clinical research
Clinical research is optimized for clinics and hospitals, allowing new therapies to be available to patients in the shortest time at the lowest cost through the use of EHRs.
