My August, 2009 MDNG column will be titled "The End of CCHIT", based on the fact that the HHS on 7/16/2009 threw CCHIT "under the bus". CCHIT will continue to do certifications for a while, and have already demonstrated by email their intentions to do so, but the HITECH certification will be government managed and will NOT include CCHIT, so CCHIT is doomed.
I wonder how AC will respond to this after, say, 2010? Once the HITECH specs are posted, then it would seem like a big waste of time and effort to continue to certify with CCHIT.
Vicki- I'm sorry to hear your issues with AC's eRx module, but I wonder how much of it has to do with eRx in general?
