e-MDs

Developed in 1996 by a group of Family Practice Physicians in Austin, TX, this electronic EMR/EHR was created to fill a void in EMRs for small practices that was not cost-prohibitive. Dr. David Winn, MD., and his colleagues who had been using an older EMR system, developed the e-MDs for an ambulatory office, and this system was one of the first six ambulatory EMR systems to receive the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology's 2007 criteria for functionality, interoperability and security.

Today, e-MDs is a large company with many different products for practice management in general. The products can handle check-in, treatment, check-out, billing functions and more.

End of 2008, there was a forum post that claimed to cite different statements from the company's founder, Dr. Winn, that they are planning to release a new light weight EHR [1]. EHR implementations tend to become ever more complex and complicated the more functions they can fulfill. In addition, to achieve CCHIT certification, a certain set of functionality must be implemented in the software. This means that for small practices the software often can do much more than is actually necessary. High investments on hardware may be necessary to be able to run EHR software smoothly. All these considerations led the company to develop a light-weight and fast EHR, that just handles the minimum function set for small practices.
