The NIH Clinical Center has officially achieved the HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Adoption Mode (EMRAM) Stage 7 re-validation. Stage 7 is the highest level of EMRAM.
The HIMSS EMRAM assess an organization's ability to use the Electronic Medical Record to support clinicians and patients.
"Achieving revalidation at EMRAM Stage 7 for the NIH Clinical Center is a huge milestone. It strengthens our health informatics foundation to advance clinical research, improve patient safety, and streamline care like never before," said Patricia Coffey, Chief, Health Information Division.
The NIH CC first received the HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 rating in 2015 and must re-validate every three years to maintain the rating. Earning a Stage 7 status means that an organization has established strong data-driven capabilities and is using technology in a useful and meaningful way.
