CSC has been awarded certification from EuroRec, a non profit organization dedicated to promoting high quality electronic health record (EHR) systems. CSC is one of the first software providers in Europe to receive certification from EuroRec. Freddy Lykke,
managing director of CSC’s European healthcare solution centre, said: “EuroRec is driving standardization in EHR systems and CSC believes that this is a crucial step forward for the industry. We feel that common standards, which allow the performance of each vendor’s software to be measured and compared, are useful means through which vendors like CSC can demonstrate that EHR systems perform as described.”
EuroRec performance criteria.
The company had to meet the performance criteria set by the EuroRec organization before obtaining the certification. The criteria include medication management, care planning, alerts, notification and reminders, patient demographic serves, findings and results documentation. Freddy added: “The days where one company can develop an entire healthcare solution are over, as our industry is now centered upon vendors collaborating and combining strengths. It is crucial that we have a body driving standardization to ensure that each company contributing to the overall solution can be confident it is working with partners who are providing software to the same high standards.”
