athenahealth had quite a few news to share today.

First, their MDP (More Disruption Please) accelerator got richer for two additional companies – CredSimple, a medical credentialing solution for hospitals and health insurers that automates the verification of providers’ qualifications; and RubiconMD, a medical referral company that connects primary care physicians with specialist expertise at the point of care via remote consults. The Boston-based Accelerator will provide both startups with seed funding, free office space, mentorship, and access to athenahealth’s network of providers.

The MDP has expanded to San Francisco and has started accepting applications from local, mid-stage health care startups.Second, the MDP has expanded to San Francisco and has started accepting applications from local, mid-stage health care startups that will share the new athenahealth office space at 50 Hawthorne located in downtown’s South of Market district. In the near future, they will roll out co-working space in which non-portfolio companies can rent space and share knowledge in Boston, San Francisco, and potentially other athenahealth office locations.

Third, Smart Scheduling, which is one of MDP’s startups, graduated to athenahealth Marketplace. Said company develops predictive scheduling analytics, which is now accessible to more than 59,000 providers in athenahealth’s national cloud network. The solution allows health care providers to predict the likelihood of patient no-shows and cancellations, prioritize calls and confirm appointments.

Finally, the MDP has partnered with HITRUST to provide its Marketplace partners with data security risk assessments that will be subsidized by athenahealth. The HITRUST CSF Certification is a leading standard by which the industry measures compliance, and the CSF Assessments will be hugely beneficial to startups that are part of MDP as it provides an independent verification of security integrity and gives athenahealth clients additional assurance that information is secure when accessing technologies on the Marketplace.
