The 2011 Application Checklist [PDF - 20 KB] contains a complete listing of all patches necessary to qualify for the certified version of RPMS.

2014 Certification

EPs and EHs who wish to demonstrate MU in 2014 must use technology that is certified according to ONC's 2014 standards. RPMS EHR is currently in the final stages of development to meet these standards. After RPMS EHR has been certified, sites will need to install various patches to have the complete 2014 version. A preliminary list of these patches is now available, but be sure to check back for a more inclusive list after the 2014 RPMS EHR certification is officially announced.
