Modernizing Medicine
Cloud-based EHR Solutions for Improved Efficiency

Paper, paper and more paper—that’s what the typical analog medical record keeping process involves. Post this observation at a routine doctor’s visit, Daniel Cane, a serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Anthology, discussed the inefficiency of duplicating paperwork from one doctor to the next with his dermatologist, Dr. Michael Sterling. Together, they brainstormed and devised the founding idea for Modernizing Medicine (ModMed).

In an industry often constrained by antiquated processes, ModMed has made a distinct mark by reimagining how technology serves healthcare providers and patients, placing them at the center of care through an intelligent, specialty-specific cloud platform. It develops intelligent, specialty-specific electronic health records (EHR) solutions that seamlessly integrate into medical workflows, significantly improving patient outcomes.

ModMed’s flagship product, the electronic medical assistant (EMA), is a cloud-based electronic medical records (EMR) system with a massive library of built-in medical content designed to save physicians’ time. Originally made for use on the iPad, EMA brings a new touchscreen approach to cloud-based EMR systems. The system can also be accessed through a web-enabled Mac or PC. EMA adapts to each provider’s distinct style of practice and is designed to interface with hundreds of different practice management systems.

“Our solutions go beyond the traditional boundaries, fostering collaborative environments that enhance efficiency and performance,” said Rob Ware, senior vice president and general manager of revenue cycle management. “We remain committed to empowering specialty practices with innovative tools to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare.”

EHRs open up a world of possibilities by giving doctors and patients seamless access to medical records on the go. Doctors and medical practices can tap into the treasure trove of data and pinpoint the most cost-effective treatments or how to best organize their practice. The endless possibilities for data analysis can revamp practice management from the core. For instance, rather than guessing or spending hours putting spreadsheets together, the data can be organized in the blink of an eye.

While many EHR platforms are designed with a one-size-fits-all approach, ModMed develops systems that cater to the specific demands of various medical specialties like dermatology, orthopedics, ophthalmology and gastroenterology. To achieve this, the company deploys an unconventional yet transformative strategy of hiring practicing physicians and teaching them how to code. By embedding firsthand medical expertise into the software’s DNA, it crafts solutions that anticipate the needs of specialists.

The innovative EHRs lay the foundation for its all-in-one suites of integrated health solutions designed for practice management, revenue cycle management, analytics, patient engagement tools and payment processing. Besides eliminating the inefficiencies of juggling multiple systems, this gives physicians a streamlined experience without the hassle of separate logins or fragmented data. The platform adapts to individual preferences while drawing on millions of patient encounters to provide actionable insights that drive better clinical and financial outcomes.

ModMed empowers practices to leverage advanced tools through an application programming interface marketplace that opens the doors to a multitude of technologies, in-depth nationwide medical knowledge and robust applications that help improve patient outcomes.

Fueling ModMed’s success is an expert executive team that draws on a blend of entrepreneurial, technical and clinical expertise, ensuring all solutions perfectly align with the realities of medical practice. Physicians on the development team actively program their knowledge into the platform, bridging the gap between technical design and practical application.

ModMed’s ethos is clear—to put doctors and patients at the center of care. Every feature of the system is designed with the end user in mind, from the intuitive interface to the seamless integration of tools. Its human-centered approach has redefined EHR systems as health practitioners’ partners in improving patient outcomes, positioning the company at the forefront of the industry.
