Myths and Realities Myth Reality CCHIT is a government agency CCHIT is an independent, voluntary, private-sector initiative organized as a limited liability corporation. CCHIT will transition from HHS funding to a self-sustaining model. CCHIT is a standards development organization CCHIT develops criteria based on commonly available standards developed by SDOs. Certification could stunt innovation and competition in the HIT marketplace Certification is a pass/fail indication that the product meets basic criteria in every area. It provides a baseline above which HIT vendors may innovate and compete. CCHIT will only be certifying EHRs for the physician practice Work groups are already developing criteria for inpatient EHR certification. In 2007, the effort will expand to the networks and technology components through which EHRs interoperate.
