What is EHNAC?

The Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (”EHNAC”) is the accreditation authority for organizations engaged in Healthcare EDI. An accredited organization is one which has demonstrated sound practices in the areas of:

  • Privacy and Confidentiality
  • Technical Performance
  • Business Practices
  • Resources
  • Security
  • HIPAA compliance

EHNAC requirements consist of over 100 criteria* which must be met in order to become accredited. Compliance with these criteria is demonstrated through the submission of a comprehensive self-assessment, followed up by an on-site review by an EHNAC representative.

*The actual number of criteria varies depending on the type of services your institution provides.
