Modernizing Medicine EMR is a powerful, specialty-specific electronic health records (EHR) solution for medical practices. Its easy-to-use, mobile-first technology helps improve efficiency and treatment outcomes for a wide range of subspecialties.
The EMA system is built by physicians, with specific workflows tailored to each subspecialty. This allows a physician to focus on the patient and not the tedium of the paper superbill.
Easy to use
Modernizing Medicine(r) is a cloud-based electronic medical records (EMR) solution that adapts to your style of practice. Available as a native iPad application or through any web-enabled device, EMA(r) is template and macro-free and learns from your specific workflow to remember your preferences.
It automatically generates an encounter form that displays the patient’s name, insurance or patient financial responsibility, diagnoses/ICD-10 codes, provider, date of service, procedures/CPT(r) codes, services rendered and associated fees – all automatically. It also auto-generates a clinical bill (also called an electronic superbill) that includes the same information as the encounter form.
Founded in Boca Raton, Florida, Modernizing Medicine delivers software that helps doctors optimize their specialty practices and increase revenue. Its solutions are specifically built for dermatology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, plastic surgery and ambulatory surgery centers.
Adapts to your style of practice
Modernizing Medicine’s flagship product, Electronic Medical Assistant (EMA(tm)), is a cloud-based specialty-specific electronic medical record system built by practicing physicians. Available as a native iPad application and from almost any web-enabled Mac or PC, EMA adapts to each provider’s unique style of practice.
A true template-free system, EMA remembers your preferences for exam descriptions, procedures and prescriptions and adjusts to present information tailored to how you consult with your patients. It then suggests the diagnoses and treatments you give the most and automatically populates patient notes, allowing you to complete documentation quickly and efficiently.
One of the first EHR systems to include built-in MIPS composite score reporting, EMA captures structured data as you tap the screen, resulting in intuitive reporting that makes it easy to see your progress in the Quality category, and view benchmarking reports to measure your success against other providers. Additionally, EMA offers features to help doctors score points in the Improvement Activities component of the Merit-based Incentive Payment System, or MIPS, introduced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2014.
Built for value-based care
As the industry transitions from fee-for-service to value-based care, data and analytics are key. You want to see where your practice is performing in every performance category and make sure you’re tracking key areas for improvement.
Modernizing Medicine EMR has robust analytics that provide a clear picture of your practice’s health. It also offers a powerful, self-service data explorer so you can dive into raw data, like demographics and history, prescribed medications and more, to get answers that matter.
In addition, Modernizing Medicine EMR is built for value-based care. It makes it easy to automate and submit your Medicare Quality Payment Program (MIPS) and Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) data.
MIPS rewards physicians who meet the performance criteria, but it can also penalize those who fall behind. By automating your MIPS reporting, you can ensure you’re on track to reach your goals and increase your revenue.

Analytics to help you succeed
The right EMR analytics platform can turn the data you capture from patient check-ins to discharges into actionable insights. That will help you increase efficiency, revenue, cost-effectiveness and quality of care in your practice.
EMA, Modernizing Medicine’s electronic health records system, is designed to meet the unique needs of specialty practices across eight specialties: dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, pain management, plastic surgery and urology. With a 93% client satisfaction rate, the cloud-based EMR has garnered an impressive number of user reviews from recognized software review sites.
Modernizing Medicine also offers a robust practice management and revenue cycle management solution, modmed(r) BOOST, to complement EMA’s EHR. These solutions, which were created by Modernizing Medicine’s own practice management professionals, seamlessly integrate with EMA to address the clinical, operational and financial needs of specialty practices. Lastly, the vendor is dedicated to providing its users with an extensive education and user conference. These events are geared toward enhancing your knowledge of EMR best practices, ICD-10, value-based care and other industry trends.
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
While many EMRs are based on templates, Modernizing Medicine believes that each physician has their own unique style and workflow. Therefore, the EMA EHR adapts to each physician’s workflow and can present the content that is most appropriate for them.
Using the latest cloud technology, the EMA EHR can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, which allows providers to access patient records when they need them most. It’s a major advantage over the client server databases used by most competing EMRs, which require clients to have a certain computer or device in order to access their data.
Built by on-staff physicians who understand the specialties they serve, EMA is customizable and caters to each provider’s specific needs. The EHR will remember what exam descriptions, procedures and prescriptions a physician prefers to use and will adjust as needed.
The EMA EHR also provides an integrated drawing board for treatment options that can be presented to patients. This can save time during the examination and ensure that the provider is able to provide the best possible care for the patient.
EMA is also ICD-10 code compliant, which means it can automatically suggest relevant ICD-10 codes based on charting data and notations. This can significantly reduce coding errors and speed up the process of billing.
Another key feature of EMA is that it can capture structured data and prepare practices for value-based care under MACRA. This data can be viewed and analyzed with interactive reporting, which can provide insight into the clinical, operational and financial health of practices. This data can then be used to optimize performance under value-based care and improve outcomes.
Data and Analytics
As the health care industry continues to transition to value-based care, it’s more important than ever for physicians to have a way to track their data. That’s why Modernizing Medicine offers a suite of data and analytics tools that give physicians the visibility they need to make informed decisions about their practice and improve their performance under value-based care.
The software’s reporting capabilities enable practitioners to easily analyze their data in an easy-to-understand snippet, giving them the power to make decisions that will help them achieve their goals. They can track progress against quality measures, measure the success of their adherence to value-based care guidelines and compare their practice with others.
Modernizing Medicine has been a leader in the healthcare IT space for over a decade and has a deep understanding of the unique challenges and needs that specialty medical practices face. The company offers a complete suite of solutions for ophthalmology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, pain medicine, plastic surgery and urology.
The company’s flagship solution is EMA, an electronic medical assistant that helps doctors save time and focus on patient care instead of completing administrative tasks. EMA’s intuitive adaptive learning system enables physicians to quickly get familiar with the system and adapt to their workflow.
