MeldRx by Darena is the first certified (b)(11) Decision Support Interventions (DSI) module available as a plug-and-play solution for EHRs to meet and exceed the new HTI-1 mandates before December 31, 2024.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Darena Solutions announced that its FHIR-based healthcare data platform, MeldRx, has achieved certification of the (b)(11) DSI module as defined under the ONC Health IT Certification Program, via Drummond Group LLC, an Authorized Certification Body (ACB). In addition to the previously certified (g)(10) FHIR APIs, MeldRx now also meets the certification requirements for the (b)(11) DSI module. The stamp of approval designates MeldRx to deliver the required functionality, enabling providers and hospitals to meet various regulatory requirements that involve the use of certified EHR technology.
The certification of MeldRx as the first (b)(11) DSI solution is a remarkable achievement for the industry. By integrating MeldRx into Aura, our enterprise EHR, we enhance its ability to provide comprehensive evidence-based and predictive solutions – Matthew Prete, CTO at Sigmund Software
The DSI certification criterion was incorporated into the HTI-1 final rule on March 11, 2024, marking the first major update to Clinical Decision Support (CDS) requirements since 2012. This update introduces modern functionalities, including the use of large language models, configuration requirements, additional source attributes, and comprehensive feedback, significantly increasing the complexity of compliance. EHRs are required to meet these new certification mandates by December 31, 2024. MeldRx’s expanded certification ensures that it continues to deliver the necessary functionality for providers and hospitals to comply with the updated regulatory requirements.
Matthew Prete, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Sigmund Software shared, “In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, navigating regulations, mandates, payer requirements, and the rapid advancement of AI technologies can be incredibly challenging. Sigmund Software understands the complexities of compliance and the necessity for powerful decision-support systems.
