The EHNAC legislative crosswalk committee, made up of EHNAC commissioners and other industry executives, is developing a series of enhancement recommendations for program criteria. The submission date is planned for late September, after which it will be distributed for public comment. EHNAC is a voluntary, self-governing standards development organization established to develop standard criteria and accredit organizations that electronically exchange healthcare data. |
