AdvancedMD EHR 2011 Summer release includes significant feature enhancements that streamline meaningful use compliance and simplify a patient's ability to interact securely online with healthcare providers.

"This release of our software provides physician practices with additional freedom to focus on improved quality of care rather than regulations and compliance," said Raul Villar, president, ADP AdvancedMD. "New advanced features take both the worry and hassle out of demonstrating meaningful use, and help ensure maximum return on dollars invested in healthcare technology not just today but as the requirements evolve toward phase II and phase III in 2013 and 2015, respectively. Because of our cloud platform, our clients will not need to worry about license upgrades and new installations to keep up with future regulatory change."
