93	Certification of Systems Claiming Conformance	Elliot	Deborah Leyva	None Available	OPEN	Elliot and Ioana will approach John Halamka, Steve Lieber and NIST regarding certification for PCD. Greg will follow up with Iaona. Todd emphasized the importance of quick action to assure that PCD is on their radar. Todd will talk to Elliot and Iaona about progress. Manny to ask Todd what to do with this item. November 11, 2009: Todd has had conversations with Elliot about certification. Among the issues that are out there: What will the role be for CCHIT, how will other national actions affect certification? Elliot is looking at this. Ken mentioned a company that plans to enter into the certification arena. There’s a question about CCHIT’s scope. Todd noted that this is very important from a user’s perspective, and their ability to specify certification in the purchase, and therefore this is very important to vendors. Erin noted that their evaluation of pumps will address components of this issue. May 12, 2010: IHE is discussing; no date available. July 21, 2010: Remove Ioana’s, add Deborah’s name. Deborah noted that the final rule came out yesterday. Ken noted that Meaningful Use for devices is down the road; Deborah said that will occur in 2015.

John Garguilo indicated that when ONC establishes devices within MU the certification companies will likely use NIST Tools. NIST has established a lab certification requirement. He believes that ONC requirements to date have been high level and current PCD efforts are consistent with that approach. Feb. 2, 2011: John Garguilo noted there are now six certification labs. Ken noted that ONC has published a document referring to Stage 2. Manny to distribute Joyce’s email of Feb. 1. Members were encouraged to respond.

June 8, 2011: Paul noted that Continua is satisfied with their process and has placed this on hold for now. John Garguilo reported that the agreement between Continua and NIST will go to the Continua Board shortly. July 20, 2011: Ken asked if PCD can make a contribution to certification for Meaningful Use. John Garguilo suggested that PCD can help lay the groundwork. Greg indicated the VA is working on MU, but is not aware of device elements. The VA does not have a certification process, but is working to have connectivity with VISTA.
