Austin, TX, October 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- VersaSuite, a leading provider of Hospital Information Systems (HIS) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) software solutions, today announced that VersaSuite 8.0 is a CCHIT Certified® 2011 Ambulatory EHR additionally certified for Clinical Research. It is the first product that has been certified by CCHIT for Clinical Research under the Ambulatory EHR certification program.

The CCHIT Certified® 2011 certification programs include a complete inspection of integrated EHR functionality, interoperability, and security according to criteria independently developed by the CCHIT's multi-stakeholder, expert work groups using CCHIT's published testing methods.

VersaSuite has the ability to automatically determine if a patient is eligible for an open clinical research trial based on any relevant medical criteria.

“VersaSuite collects an incredibly rich clinical data set by design. This gives hospitals and physicians the ability to run powerful analytics and identify ideal candidates for clinical research if desired. This type of high level search function was never available before with paper charts,” said Tom Dorsett, Vice President of Sales and Business Development. “VersaSuite’s clinical research functionality enables patient access to potentially lifesaving products and reduces the cost of clinical research. This is in line with our vision of using technology to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.”
