Physician IT
ABELMed software certified for
OntarioMD CMS 2.0
TORONTO – ABELSoft Corp. Announced that ABELMed CMS/EMR 7.0 clinical and
practice management software achieved the OntarioMD CMS Specification
2.0 certification on March 31, 2008 and continues to be a product
eligible for funding through the Physician IT Program.
Standards for CMS solutions, developed through the Physician IT Program
of OntarioMD Inc., ensure that the solutions adopted by physicians meet
or exceed specific functionality and performance criteria.
Under the CMS specification 2.0, systems must demonstrate the ability to
export and import data to/from another CMS/EMR system to be certified.
An OntarioMD Inc. article states that, “The goal of CMS Specification
2.0, and subsequent versions, is to improve CMS/EMR products to meet the
needs of Ontario physicians and facilitate information exchange with
other healthcare providers.”
Arun Rele, President and CEO of ABELSoft, said “We are one of the
OntarioMD CMS 1.3 certified vendors to achieve CMS 2.0 certification.
The certification of ABELMed CMS/EMR 7.0 is fully in line with our
mandate to provide state-of-the-art solutions. A number of products
available on the market use outdated technologies and are unable to meet
today’s stringent privacy and security laws. Therefore, I urge
physicians to select solutions that are based upon the latest
technologies.
“ABELSoft, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, uses such latest
technologies and remains committed to delivering user-friendly solutions
while meeting or exceeding future specifications criteria.”
“ABELSoft Corporation worked hard to incorporate the new requirements
into their offering and to pass the certification process” said Brian
Forster, Chief Executive Officer of OntarioMD Inc.
Serving Ontario physicians for over 30 years, this latest certification
of ABELMed CMS/EMR 7.0 positions ABELSoft, a 100% Canadian owned
company, to remain a leading provider of medical and dental practice
management/clinical software.
