The charge capture company is dedicated to helping medical groups jettison paperwork for a more streamlined, digital process. This is further strengthened with the pMD - athenahealth partnership.  “pMD and athenahealth share the same philosophy of writing software that doctors love, so partnering with them was natural,” pMD CEO Philippe d’Offay said. “We’re both creating user-friendly software that eliminates the paper and the administrative elements of healthcare that burden doctors and their practices. The brilliance of the MDP program is that it allows us as vendors to produce something that is more than simply the sum of our parts. The MDP program makes our mutual customers even happier because they can focus on the issues that matter most.” pMD’s collaboration with athenahealth through the MDP program will introduce greater value and customizability to healthcare providers already using athenaCollector. pMD extends a practice and athenahealth into the hospital setting.
