Modernizing Medicine will be launching a new telemedicine solution within its EMA Dermatology at this year’s American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Summer Meeting in New York, the company has announced.

Ranked the #1 EHR system for dermatologists by Black Book Rankings for the second consecutive year, Modernizing Medicine makes the Electronic Medical Assistant (EMA), a cloud-based, specialty-specific electronic medical record (EMR) system that is accessible through iPad and desktop apps.

With the new update, the platform will now allow physicians to provide treatment, diagnosis and advice for their patients when a virtual visit is appropriate. Also, physicians can save time and add a new source of revenue by reviewing and responding quickly to a variety of cases such as rashes, minor burns and bites, while freeing office time for more complex patient cases.

Also, physicians can save time and add a new source of revenue by reviewing and responding quickly to a variety of cases.“Because our telemedicine solution is integrated within EMA Dermatology, a patient’s data – including photos patients send for examination – is captured and stored in one place, said Dr. Michael Sherling, co-founder and chief medical officer at Modernizing Medicine. “Telemedicine helps provide flexible healthcare services to housebound patients or those that don’t have time for an office visit or live in a remote location, while enabling physicians to maintain their patient base and bill appropriately.”

With the new Protocols, physicians can create their own master visits and customize their workflow to further enhance the intuitive adaptive learning that has helped EMA Dermatology capture approximately 30 percent of the dermatology market.

On the other hand, multi-specialty functionality gives providers and their staff the ability to document multiple specialties all within one EMA using one url.

What makes Modernizing Medicine’s solution so popular is the fact that it was designed by practicing dermatologists, so EMA Dermatology contains built-in specialty-specific medical knowledge as a way to provide physicians with an intuitive and intelligent system. EMA Dermatology is also ready for ICD-10, and certified for Meaningful Use with included PQRS reporting capabilities.
