Medici® by Harris OnPoint Receives ONC Health IT Certification
Leading antimicrobial stewardship solution satisfies CMS’ antimicrobial reporting requirements
Niagara Falls, NY, July 13, 2023 – Medici®, a product of Harris OnPoint, has been certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC-Health IT) 2015 Edition Cures Update Health IT via SLI Compliance, an Authorized Certification Body (ACB).
Medici® AUR is an antimicrobial stewardship solution that is compatible with all Electronic Health Record (EHR) products. It aids clinicians in optimizing antimicrobial therapies while simplifying hospitals’ antimicrobial use (AU) and antimicrobial resistance (AR) reporting. With Medici®, hospitals can seamlessly measure, analyze, and report on antimicrobial utilization using CDC standard definitions.
The ONC Health IT Certification qualifies Medici® as an approved solution for hospitals to use in order to comply with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) mandate.

“As a team, we are committed to helping the healthcare community curve antibiotic resistance, and this achievement helps us to continue these efforts while ensuring our clients are prepared for the CMS mandate,” said Chun Wong, Medici® Founder and Vice President of Operations. “As the first vendor to be certified by the CDC for both AU and AR, Medici® is proud to now achieve the ONC Health IT Certification.”
