"As Meaningful Use continues to grow and evolve, we believe that giving patients an easy way to see their health data is a critical step in connecting patients and care providers," said Chris Bradley, CEO and co-founder, Mana Health. "ManaPortal easily integrates with an EHR or across numerous EHRs to make clinical and personal health data visible, shareable and valuable in an effort to improve patient engagement and deliver better care."

ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon, offers vendor-neutral testing and certification. ONC HIT 2014 Edition Certification is granted to those technologies that are capable of meeting the more rigorous testing criteria developed to support providers and hospitals who wish to demonstrate Stage 2 Meaningful Use, which focuses on the capability of health IT to deliver higher quality patient care and exchange clinical information securely.
