CCHIT awards 2014 ONC HIT Certification to Mirth Connect version 3.0.1

Mirth, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a global leader in health information technology, announced today that Mirth^® Connect version 3.0.1 is compliant with the ONC 2014 Edition criteria and was certified as an Electronic Health Record (EHR) Module on May 1, 2014 by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT®), an ONC-ACB, in accordance with the applicable Eligible Providers (Ambulatory) certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The ONC 2014 Edition criteria support both Stage 1 and 2 Meaningful Use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

"Having just received certification under the hospital criteria last month, we view this certification for ambulatory providers as a natural progression," said Jon Teichrow, senior vice president of research and development for Mirth. "We believe that receiving 2014 ONC HIT Certification of Mirth Connect version 3.0.1 for both inpatient and ambulatory care settings serves as a testament to our product's position as one of the most innovative interoperability tools in the Health IT market."

The ONC HIT Certification Program certifies that EHRs meet all of the 2014 Edition criteria and that EHR Modules meet one or more - but not all - of the criteria approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) for hospital technology.

"CCHIT congratulates companies that successfully achieve EHR technology certification," said Alisa Ray, executive director, CCHIT. "These companies are now able to make their products available to providers wishing to adopt health IT to demonstrate Meaningful Use and earn federal incentives."
