2.0 Certification
ABELMed CMS/EMR software achieves OntarioMD CMS Specification version 2.0 certification
ABELSoft Corporation is proud to announce 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. article1 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 health-care 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 A number of products available on the market use outdated technologies and are unable to meet today’s stringent privacy and security laws.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 strongly positions ABELSoft, a 100% Canadian owned company, to remain Ontario’s leading provider of medical and dental practice management/clinical software.
