    The testing was conducted by the Certification Commission for Health Information
Technology (CCHIT(R)), an ONC-ATCB, in accordance with the applicable Eligible Provider

2011/2012 criteria support the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify
eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA).

    "This certification is important for our North American RIS customers as a way to
secure income by qualifying for EHR incentive payments and as protection against the
planned reduction in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements," says Vice President of
Research and Development for Sectra, Kevin Collins.
