Our Patient Relationship Manager™ (PRM) 2008 has been certified by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT®) and we are proud to have received a 100% for all criteria. The certification is valid through 2011. The electronic health record (EHR) component was given a perfect score for:

The Certification Commission includes representatives from a wide variety of stakeholder groups, including healthcare providers, payers, vendors, consumers, researchers, public health agencies and informatics experts. Product certification is not only valued by physicians, but by insurers and other parties in the healthcare system as well.
