Criterions LLC

Criterions LLC provides electronic health record and practice management solutions targeted at small to medium-sized ambulatory care practices. The platform combines clinical documentation, scheduling, billing, and regulatory compliance tools into a unified system designed to reduce administrative overhead while maintaining clinical workflow efficiency.

The system emphasizes ease of use for independent practices and smaller healthcare organizations that require comprehensive functionality without the complexity and cost associated with enterprise-level systems. Criterions LLC's approach focuses on providing core ambulatory EHR capabilities including patient charting, e-prescribing through Surescripts integration, appointment scheduling, and practice management functions that support the complete patient encounter lifecycle.

Key technical capabilities include ONC 2015 Edition certification for meaningful use attestation, EPCS certification for controlled substance prescribing, and standard interoperability features including HL7 integration for lab systems and DirectTrust participation for secure health information exchange. The platform supports MIPS and MACRA quality reporting requirements, which are critical for practices participating in Medicare quality payment programs.

The system includes patient engagement tools through a patient portal that enables secure messaging, appointment requests, and access to medical records. Billing and claims management functionality is integrated directly into the workflow, allowing practices to manage revenue cycle operations within the same platform used for clinical documentation.

Criterions LLC appears to serve general ambulatory specialties including family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and various specialty practices such as cardiology, dermatology, and OB-GYN. The platform is designed for practices seeking a straightforward implementation without extensive customization requirements, making it suitable for practices with 1-20 providers.

While the vendor maintains a lower market profile compared to major EHR systems, its focus on essential ambulatory care functionality positions it as an option for cost-conscious practices that prioritize core EHR capabilities over advanced analytics or population health management features. The system's compliance certifications ensure it meets federal requirements for electronic prescribing of controlled substances and meaningful use criteria necessary for Medicare incentive programs.
