“By remaining at the forefront of interoperability, we can empower our clients to meet the evolving healthcare requirements of coordinated care and value-based practices successfully,” said Beth Reece, Vice President and GM of GEHRIMED at Netsmart. “Starting this year, MIPS-eligible physicians, clinicians and practices must meet revised, EHR technology standards for promoting interoperability performance. By continuously innovating our technology, we can better support our clients and those they serve while qualifying for CMS reimbursement models. We are grateful to the team that worked to achieve this certification and believe this is another giant step forward in connecting our clients, patients and residents across the care continuum.”

Netsmart has an established history for certified technology, as GEHRIMED was the first LTPAC EHR to receive ONC Certification in 2011 and have remained committed to advancing solutions with the capabilities providers need to enhance care, maintain compliance and grow their practice.
