FairWarning, Inc., the inventor and world's leading supplier of Patient Privacy Monitoring solutions for electronic health records (EHRs), today announced that its patient privacy monitoring software has achieved Meaningful Use Modular Certification under the ONC HIT Certification Program, maintained by Health and Human Services' Office of the National Coordinator.

FairWarning^® qualifies for certification under ONC 2014 Edition Test Methods and has now been awarded modular certification on applicable criteria for the 2014 Edition. FairWarning^® customers who are attesting for either 2011-2012 (Stage 1) Meaningful Use or 2013-2014 (Stage 2) Meaningful Use will now be able to use FairWarning^® as a modular part of their full attestation. The listing can be found on the ONC website at http://oncchpl.force.com/ehrcert q=chpl, under certifications #IG-2936-13-0004, #IG-2936-13-0006 (Ambulatory Practice Setting), and #IG-2936-13-0005, #IG-2936-13-0007 (Inpatient Practice Setting).

Certification of Health Information Technology (HIT) provides assurance to purchasers and other users that an EHR system offers the necessary technological capability, functionality, and security to help them meet Meaningful Use objectives and measures. Certification also gives care providers and their patients confidence that the electronic HIT products and systems they use are secure and can work with other systems to share information.

"Munson Medical Center has used FairWarning^® for many years. In 2012, we needed to self-certify FairWarning^® for Meaningful Use. Facing Stage 2, 2014 regulations, we are grateful to learn that FairWarning^® was able to certify their auditing package. This frees Munson Medical Center to focus on other areas of Meaningful Use. We appreciate FairWarning^®'s efforts on behalf of their customers," said Randi Terry, Director of Information Systems, Munson Medical Center, Traverse City, MI.
