EHNAC’s many accreditation programs help electronic health networks, payers, financial services firms, billing services, third-party administrators, and other service providers benchmark their performance against industry-accepted guidelines and standards. In addition to three main programs, EHNAC offers more specialized programs that further accommodate variances within each industry.
All EHNAC accreditation programs examine confidentiality enforcement, review of level-of-service and escalation procedures, and outcome-related metrics. Each program also reviews security infrastructures — including disaster recovery, business continuity and contingency planning — as well as ability to comply with industry-standard data formats.

 | Swiftly-emerging regulatory and industry developments call for consistent standards for clinical data sharing. The need is greater than ever for accreditation to ensure compliance and accountability. ASPAP-EHR evaluates organizations offering an ASP-format for electronic health records (EHRs) against specific criteria covering privacy and confidentiality, technical performance, business processes, resources and security. Overarching goals of this program include the improvement of networks that are used for transmitting, storing, and maintaining electronic health information. These improvements create standards for ASPs that offer EHRs that will prepare them for connecting to a health information exchange. |
 | ePAP assesses your electronic prescribing and fax-based prescribing transactions for transaction timeliness, accommodation of industry-standard data formats, and security measures. ePAP gives your existing and prospective customers confidence that you meet all necessary standards for disciplined, quality business performance. |
 | For banks, financial services firms, and other vendors seeking to differentiate themselves by demonstrating they adhere to a higher standard of quality, FSAP is the perfect solution. FSAP ensures that your organization follows HIPAA security and privacy rules, and meets a range of criteria applicable specifically to financial electronic health networks. FSAP accreditation assures your customers that their business partner follows industry-established standards for processing payment and other transactions involving protected health information. EHNAC evaluates each FSAP applicant against sixteen financial criteria and three criteria that apply exclusively to financial and banking electronic health networks. EHNAC offers several categories of FSAP accreditation to more closely match your situation: FSAP EHN and FSAP Lockbox. |
 | EHNAC’s Health Information Exchange Accreditation Program is a scalable accreditation program designed for health information exchange organizations and stakeholder groups that promote clinical data sharing across multiple stakeholders. HIEAP will assess privacy policies, security measures, technical performance, business practices and organizational resources of participating entities. |
 | As the “stamp of approval” from industry peers recognizing excellence in health data processing and transactions, HNAP is the choice for organizations that manage and transfer protected health information. HNAP-accreditation indicates that your organization exceeds industry-established standards and complies with HIPAA regulations in areas such as privacy measures; systems availability; and security infrastructure. To further accommodate an expanding field, EHNAC offers several additional subcategories of HNAP accreditation with criteria more specific to the needs of payer-owned networks, third-party administrators, medical billers, transcriptionists and more. |
 | Developed for organizations that process healthcare transactions, HNAP-70, or the Healthcare Network Accreditation Plus Select SAS 70© (1) Criteria Program, broadens the scope of audit and review beyond traditional SAS 70 audits. EHNAC provides a greater concentration on healthcare privacy and security by including HIPAA requirements and technical performance criteria specific to healthcare IT providers. 1 SAS 70© is a proprietary term owned by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). |
 | OSAP is the EHNAC program for those vendors who perform outsourcing functions necessary to the business of other EHNAC-accredited organizations. Once an organization is EHNAC OSAP accredited, other EHNAC candidates who use that outsourcer will not have to pay for additional site visits to that organization. This program covers a variety of functions, from product development andcustomer service to network administration and data center functions, OSAP streamlines and facilitates the EHNAC accreditation process for many companies. |
