Introduction

The InHCc HMIS was designed for Developing Countries that require a completely different set of standards and data collection than those of developed markets. However, we at InHCc feel that our system should still include the same functions as systems that were designed for different markets.

In order to ensure that we provide those required functions, InHCc will attempt to incorporate as many of the required functions and features that are relevant into our system and over time our goal is to be fully compliant.

Some of these Certification Programs are:

  • Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT)
  • Federal or State Hospital and Clinical Certification
  • Mexico Certification (ACREDITACIÓN Y GARANTÍA DE CALIDAD EN ESTABLECIMIENTOS PARA LA PRESTACIÓN DE SERVICIOS DE SALUD)
  • JCAHO and JCAHO International
  • ISO 9001
  • American Hospital Association (AHA)
  • Canadian Council of Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA)
  • Latin American Federation of Hospitals (LAFH)
  • Joint Commission for Quality in Health Care (COMCAM in Spanish)
  • ITAES

CCHIT

Founded in 2004, and certifying electronic health records (EHRs) since 2006, the Commission established the first comprehensive, practical definition of what capabilities were needed in these systems.  The certification criteria were developed through a voluntary, consensus-based process engaging diverse stakeholders, and the Certification Commission was officially recognized by the Federal government as a certifying body.

Unlike other certifying and accreditation organizations which certifies the Healthcare organization, CCHIT certifies the actual software application itself. It ensures that the software application provides the scope of functionality that is required to provide safe healthcare.

Much of the criteria for EHR functionality have to do with managing information and activities. These criteria can be summarized into:

  • Organizing patient data
  • Compiling lists
  • Receiving Information
  • Creating Orders
  • Supporting decisions
  • Authorized sharing
  • Managing workflow
  • Administrative and billing support

Joint Commission (US)

An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission accredits and certifies more than 17,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. Joint Commission accreditation and certification is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards.

Joint Commission International

As the International division of Joint Commission Resources, Joint Commission International (JCI) has been working with health care organizations, ministries of health, and global organizations in over 80 countries since 1994.

Their focus is on improving the safety of patient care through the provision of accreditation and certification services as well as through advisory and educational services aimed at helping organizations implement practical and sustainable solutions.

In September 2007, JCI received accreditation by the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua).  Accreditation by ISQua provides assurance that the standards, training and processes used by JCI to survey the performance of health care organizations meet the highest international benchmarks for accreditation entities

ISO 9001

The International Organization of Standardization (ISO) was founded in 1947 as a worldwide, industrial and commercial standard-setting, non-governmental organization with strong links to governments. It is comprised of business and quality professionals representing the national standards organizations of 158 countries. That makes it an nternational standard of excellence agreed upon by all those countries, including the USA, Australia and the countries of Europe.

ISO 9001 is a series of documents that define requirements for the Quality Management System Standard. ISO 9001:2000 is the current version of the Standard revised in the year 2000. This quality management system enables us to ensure customer requirements are understood and met. It helps us effectively train our employees, purchase from suppliers that provide quality products, correct problems and prevent them from happening again.
