Sequel Systems, Inc. Meaningful Use EHR Receives ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 Certification

Sequel Systems, Inc., a dynamic, service-oriented healthcare technology company, announced today that its Electronic Health Record (EHR), SequelMed® Meaningful Use EHR version 8.0, has been tested and certified under the Drummond Group's Electronic Health Records ONC-ATCB program. The EHR software is 2011/2012 compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The certification deems the electronic health record (EHR) software capable of enabling providers to meet the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify for incentive payments under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).


In addition to the monetary incentives, the adoption of EHRs can improve quality of care, advance patient safety, increase customer satisfaction and enhance office efficiency for physician practices. Facilities and practices using a certified EHR may also experience increased profitability through reduced costs and increased revenue.


"Choosing to test with The Drummond Group made sense for Sequel Systems because the organization is an independent leader in testing methodologies and test process management," said Khurshid Mughal, CEO and President of Sequel Systems. "Given the level of experience The Drummond Group has, it offers a greater level of confidence to our customers and partners that the SequelMed software meets the requirements as set forth by The Office of National Coordinator."


"Drummond Group has more than 10 years of software testing experience in several industries and we are pleased to bring that experience to the HIT marketplace. It is a privilege to carry out testing and certification in Electronic Health Records for HHS," said Rik Drummond, CEO Drummond Group Inc.


Sequel Systems, Inc. is a leading provider of EHR and practice management software and solutions, serving approximately 12,000 physicians in North America. Meaningful Use Certification of SequelMed's EHR means clients seeking federal incentives will be technologically prepared to do so.
