What is the AWARDS Certified Edition?
AWARDS Certified Edition is the powerful combination of user-friendly behavioral healthcare case management software and a feature-rich Federally Certified, 2015 Edition ambulatory EHR. This enables agencies to complete their services documentation while taking advantage of cutting edge interoperability and quality measure reporting for value-based payments, while meeting funder requirements for usage of federally certified software. We've created encounter-specific workflows that let medical providers focus on their patients while making sure they can record all of the necessary information easily and efficiently. In order to make the AWARDS Certified Edition possible, we've made several upgrades available to agencies for purchase. These upgrades were required in order for AWARDS to meet the certification requirements of the 2015 Edition in the ONC Final Rule.
Certified Edition highlights
Workflow
The Encounters feature in AWARDS enables users to record all of the details of encounters with patients, while being able to update their medical records, write notes, and generate interoperability documents.

How Do I Get Started?
Complete a Certified Edition enhancements request
To get started, you must review the Certified Edition - Requirements and Enhancement Request Instructions document. After having done so you will need to reach out to [email protected] to opt into the full package of functionality, and to indicate which programs and program types should have these new features turned on for them.
IMPORTANT! We strongly recommend that customers that used the Meaningful Use 2014 Edition transition to the AWARDS Providers feature, as well as the PlanBuilder tool. The Providers feature allows for easier and cleaner data entry in Encounters, and the PlanBuilder enables you to more effectively share care plan data with the C-CDA. Your Foothold Customer Success & Advocacy division representative can assist you with these transitions.
