ONC’s 2014 Edition EHR Certification Criteria define the requirements that the EHR technology must meet in order to be used by eligible professionals (EP’s), eligible hospitals (EH’s), and critical access hospitals (CAH’s) participating in the Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs. In improver to these criteria, ONC made some policy changes to the HIT certification program.

In the 2014 Edition Final Rule, ONC added two transparency requirements in response to stakeholder feedback

1. Publicly Accessible Certification Test Results
2. Transparency in pricing
