ONC-certified healthcare technology.
ClinicMind EHR is certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), meeting federal standards for interoperability, security, and clinical quality.
What ONC Certification means for your practice
The ONC Health IT Certification Program — run by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology — sets the bar for EHR software. Certification is voluntary, but it's required to participate in federal quality programs like MIPS and to demonstrate meaningful use compliance.
Federal-standard security
Certified EHR technology meets ONC's rigorous security criteria — authentication, encryption, audit trails, and multi-factor authentication — protecting patient data at every layer.
Interoperability built in
FHIR-based APIs and standardized data formats mean your patient records can move reliably between systems — reducing manual data entry and supporting continuity of care.
MIPS-ready documentation
ONC certification enables participation in CMS quality programs. Certified EHR technology is required for MIPS reporting, value-based care arrangements, and incentive programs.
Structured, portable records
Patient data is stored in a compatible, structured format that transfers cleanly between certified systems — no more lost records or incompatible export formats at transitions of care.
Transparent clinical decisions
The Cures HTI-1 update strengthens algorithm transparency requirements, so providers can see and understand the logic behind clinical decision support tools in the EHR.
Patient access to health data
Certified EHRs enable patients to view, download, and transmit their records to third parties — a core Cures Act requirement that puts patients in control of their own health information.
The latest standard: ONC Cures HTI-1
The Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Certification Program Updates, Algorithm Transparency, and Information Sharing Final Rule — commonly called HTI-1 — was finalized in January 2024. ClinicMind meets the full HTI-1 standard.
HTI-1 focuses on three priorities: advancing FHIR-based interoperability, improving transparency of clinical decision support algorithms, and strengthening requirements for information sharing between providers and patients.
-
Enhanced FHIR-based interoperability More reliable access to patient data across systems, reducing manual entry and supporting continuity of care.
-
Algorithm transparency Providers can see and question the logic in clinical decision support tools, promoting trusted, evidence-based care.
-
Reduced administrative burden Standardized data exchange cuts manual reconciliation between systems and payers.
-
Stronger information sharing safeguards Clear rules preventing information blocking, ensuring patient and provider data flows freely where it's needed.
