A Year of Growth, Recognition, and Partnership
2025 was a year of coming together as our platform practices chose to unite under a single EMR tool. With speed and agility our team was able to quickly transition our partners into their chosen tool, ModMed. This major accomplishment took place in just four short months highlighting not only the speed of the MSO team but also the tremendous collaboration with our partners. This transition improves documentation, coding, and the patient experience by allowing the roll out of more digital tools. The single platform accelerated the use of online scheduling and AI tools to improve both the patient and provider experience. You can learn more about the benefits of upgrading or optimizing outdated EHR software on our blog.
