Purpose of EHI Export

As part of the 21st Century Cures Act, Office EMR will support a new ONC Certification criterion § 170.315 (b)(10) Electronic Health Information export. This criterion replaces and expands upon our existing certified §170.315(b)(6) Data export which allows our customers to bulk export patient CCDA files.  

This new Electronic Health Information (EHI) export supports CMS' desire for a patient's and practice's data to be available outside of the platform.  

Excludes: psychotherapy notes (etc) 

Restrict user access by role

Format: electronic, computable

Publicly accessible hyperlink of the export's format included in file
