I’ve been a big fan of Modernizing Medicine since I first came across them. Their approach to EHR is very smart and very different than many of the EHR software out there. They’re extremely focused on the specialties that work well with their visual method of documentation and that documentation method is something unique.

I’ll be interested to see if Modernizing Medicine plans to use this $14 million to expand beyond their current specialties or whether they plan to stay as a specialty specific EHR. I’m a big fan of specialty specific EHR software and so I hope that it’s the later. You have to compromise so many things when you expand an EHR to support so many different specialties. The number of doctors still not using Modernizing Medicine’s EMA EMR is still large enough for them to do very well.
