Athenahealth Inc. (NSDQ:ATHN) formed a partnership with Sermo, an online physician’s community to “help gauge and amplify” physician’s opinions on electronic medical records.
The collaboration was announced to coincide with this week’s HIMSS10 conference in Atlanta, where the companies also released a survey of some 1,000 physician members that shows while a majority of the docs think EMRs improve care, most find them costly and a bit clunky.
