Draft:ModuleMD

ModuleMD is an American software company headquartered in Grand Blanc, Michigan. In the 1990s, two allergists identified a need for comprehensive software to help medical practices manage patient records and increase efficiency. Since then, ModuleMD has helped hundreds of practices manage more than 10 million medical records.

Company History
Before launching a product, the ModuleMD team spent two years collecting feedback from physicians and other healthcare providers, enhancing their understanding of the market’s needs and pain points. Based on that feedback, ModuleMD rolled out an SaaS solution for its first customer in 2002. Just seven years later, ModuleMD integrated with an ePrescribe partner to give users seamless prescribing capabilities.

In 2009, Congress passed the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. As part of the HITECH Act, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services introduced the Meaningful Use program, which required providers to demonstrate meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR). The ModuleMD team saw an opportunity to help medical practices comply with the new requirements, prompting them to obtain the Meaningful Use Stage I Certification from the Office of the National Coordinator for Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) in 2011.

Between 2011 and 2017, ModuleMD earned two additional ONC certifications. It was the first EHR to automatically upload data to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Registry for specialty-specific criteria, as well as the first EHR to partner with regional health information exchanges, enabling physician practices to connect to larger health systems. In 2018, the ModuleMD team turned its attention to the future of telehealth. Company executives realized more patients were asking for telemedicine services to make it easier to access quality healthcare. As a result, ModuleMD incorporated telehealth features into its platform.

The National Committee for Quality Assurance started its Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition Program in 2008. To qualify as a medical home a provider must meet several criteria. Some of the requirements focus on the use of EHR to increase access to clinical advice, share information with other healthcare professionals and make better clinical decisions. In 2019, ModuleMD earned its prevalidation status to help practices meet these PCMH requirements. In a bid to promote technological innovation, Silverstone Capital acquired ModuleMD in 2021. Since then, ModuleMD has continued to expand its service offerings, adding remote patient monitoring features in 2022.
