VIPER Clinical Information Solution 3.0 Earns ONC-HIT Certification from Drummond Group
April 10 2015
March 12, 2015 – Spectrum Medical’s
VIPER Clinical Information Solution 3.0 has achieved Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC-HIT) 2014 Edition Modular
Certification via Drummond Group, an Authorized Certification Body (ACB) that
has been empowered to test software for compliance with the requirements of the
federal government’s program. The stamp of approval designates that the
software offers the functionality that enables eligible providers and hospitals to meet Stage 1 and
Stage 2 Meaningful Use requirements, qualifying these organizations to receive
payments under the ongoing EHR adoption program.
“Anesthesia and Perfusion
documentation remains one of the last specialties in the hospital to continue
to document on paper. According to HIMSS
Analytics, over 70% of hospitals in the U.S. remain on paper in this critical
area of the hospital” says Kevin Ledet,
Spectrum Medical’s Vice President of Clinical Information Solutions. “With unparalleled clinician acceptance and
adoption, the VIPER solution has provided a much needed tool to increase
workflow efficiency and patient safety in this demanding environment. ONC modular certification of VIPER is another
important milestone for this game changing technology.”
To earn the certification, VIPER Clinical Information
Solution 3.0 was tested to be in accordance with applicable standards and certification criteria put forth by
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The government’s program is maturing
and, therefore, becoming more demanding, as it is positioning itself to enable
healthcare providers to truly transform how care is delivered. As a result, software developers are being
challenged to develop systems with advanced patient engagement, data transfer
and interoperability functionality,” says Rick Drummond, CEO, Drummond Group
Inc. “Our experience testing complex software in a variety of industries makes
it possible for us to bring the sophisticated testing and certification
services that the healthcare industry now needs to reach these ambitious
goals.”
“This EHR Module is 2014 Edition compliant and has been certified by an ONC-ACB in
accordance with the applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary
of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This certification does
not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services or guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.”
VIPER Clinical information Solution 3.0 has completed EHR
Inpatient Modular Certification for the following criteria:
- 170.314 (a) (3, 4, 11-13); (d) (1, 5); (g)
(1,4)
No Clinical Quality Measures were tested and no additional

Viper Clinical Information Solution 3.0 holds certificate number
02262015-3106-6 certified on 02/26/2015 using the 2014 edition standards.

software may require one-time costs to establish interfaces for reporting to
various state or procedure specific registries, billing companies and/or other
3rd party Business Intelligence software.
