The Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), a Farmington, Conn.-based non-profit standards development organization and accrediting body, announced today that it has posted new versions of program criteria for general public review. EHNAC seeks interested parties to provide opinions, comments and suggestions for the upgraded criteria versions that have been developed for each of EHNAC’s accreditation programs with regard to the necessity, appropriateness and workability of the criteria versions proposed for adoption. The open process for adopting criteria will last 60 days for the eleven affected programs, commencing on Sept. 26, 2011 and ending on Nov. 26, 2011. EHNAC accreditation recognizes excellence in health data processing and transactions, and confirms compliance with industry-established standards and HIPAA regulations.
