Hi Tim,
Not quite what Enrico has in mind - but better than nothing - as largely functionally based - ie must detect interactions etc.
The US only started this effort about a year ago..so I wonder why all the claims it is too hard to do.
Next year initial list of hospital systems approved - and an upgraded and richer set of ambulatory requirements to keep certification.
Very reasonable steps which NEHTA should be emulating - along with all the future stuff they are working on.
Cheers
David
