You must obtain your own unique CMS EHR Certification ID from the Certified Health IT Product List website. To demonstrate Meaningful Use (MU), all EHR products in use during the reporting period must be selected. If you changed versions of an EHR during the reporting period, select both products. If you use EHR modules rather than a full EHR package, each module must be selected. Also, since Medisolv is providing the data and/or reporting the data, you must also select Medisolv as a certified vendor.
