ATLANTA, GA – (November 18, 2015) – Azalea Health’s solution, Azalea EHR 2.1, is one of a select few EHRs to achieve certification on all 64 CMS clinical quality measures (CQMs). Eligible providers are required to report on CQMs to demonstrate meaningful use and receive an incentive payment under the Meaningful Use Stage 2 rule. The provider can select and report on nine from the list of 64 approved CQMs for the electronic health record (EHR) incentive programs.

“Our healthcare system is evolving rapidly towards quality and outcomes-based payments so it’s imperative for Azalea to ensure we offer the most innovative, flexible and functional EHR as well as quality reporting platform for physicians and other care providers,” said Baha Zeidan, CEO of Azalea Health.  “The three main pillars of our company are innovation, partnership and leadership and this CQM certification embodies those pillars as we navigate our customers successfully through the future of healthcare.”

The Azalea 2.1 EHR includes fully integrated electronic health records, practice management, interoperability services, patient portal, personal health records, telehealth, and the AzaleaM mobile platform integrated with Apple® HealthKit, as well as revenue cycle performance services.

Azalea Health helps reduce the complexity of operating a medical practice, enabling physicians to spend more time with their patients. Azalea’s cloud-based solution is simple to implement and easy to use, streamlining administrative workflow while maximizing a practice’s resources and revenue cycle.
