Elekta's MOSAIQ oncology electronic medical record (EMR) has received complete ONC-ATCB EMR certification.

Complete EMR certification officially validates the Elekta software and enables eligible providers to qualify to demonstrate Stage 1 meaningful use under the HITECH Act.

Tested and certified under the Drummond Group’s Electronic Health Records Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) program, the EMR software is Stage 1 compliant with criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

The complete certification of MOSAIQ makes it the first comprehensive, oncology EMR to receive the certification.

Elekta Software executive vice president Todd Powell said MOSAIQ is a popular solution in many of the cancer care facilities, so certification is a huge step for this software and put customers at the front of the line for incentive funds.

"We have worked to make MOSAIQ not only the most comprehensive, interoperable and robust solution available, but also equipped it to perform functions that all modern EMRs should have to increase efficiency in patient care. Certification is additional evidence of these efforts," Powell said.

Drummond Group’s ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification program tests and certifies that EMRs meet the meaningful use criteria for either eligible provider or hospital technology.
