Medical Communication Systems (MCS), through its iPatientCare EHR/practice management system, recently participated in pilot tests for the Certification Commission for Health IT (CCHIT) EHR certification program in clinical research.

CCHIT also recently launched EHR certification programs in women’s health and oncology, according to MCS, of Woodbridge, N.J. The new certifications are part of the CCHIT Certified 2011 certification programs.

The pilot tests in which MCS participated were conducted as an inspection to assist in ensuring the validity of certification test steps, the company added.
