The LeadingAge Center for Aging Services Technologies announced updates to its electronic health record portfolio, and six new case studies for 2015.

The tools include an enhanced Product Selection Matrix that compares 26 different products from 26 vendors, with three new products added this year.  There also is an updated white paper and an Online Selection Tool that allows organizations to find the right EHR based on selected criteria.

“This new update makes the tools even more valuable to those in aging services by identifying whether or not the the various EHR systems implement ICD-10 codes inherently to comply with new regulations, and if they need to use an external coding clearinghouse to achieve compliance,” said Majd Alwan, Ph.D., executive director of CAST.
