Is there some person or team leading the issues on MU?&nbsp; To answer questions?&nbsp; Like how does the “Modular” certification work? Do we have to have a relationship with a vendor for Labs like Quest or LabCorp?&nbsp; What at about NewCrop, can that be done directly or require a certain vendor+OpenEMR?&nbsp; Thanks! Don

Hi Don,

There’s a “sort of” faq here on those topics:  
[http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Repository\_work\_flow\_structure#Developers](http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Repository_work_flow_structure#Developers)

There is no “team” lead. For labs, suggest discussing with MI2(Tony) or ZH(Shameem) for more details since they offer this service so should know the specifics. Same goes for Newcrop which is offered by MI2/ZH (note I could be wrong on whom offers this service, but I think that is who does). Note there is also the Allscripts option; both options are covered here:  
[http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR\_ePrescribe](http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_ePrescribe)

How the above relates to modular certification. For example, I think you are asking if the above options be swapped with another certified modular; I am guessing you can, but should get a person with more knowledge in this area to weigh in; guessing some active users or vendors/pros could provide more concrete advice.

too funny,  
My link for the faq above should be:
