"With close to ten (10) years of providing electronic claims and other technology services we have become a trusted resource to the Puerto Rican market that our Providers have come to rely on to provide technology solutions. Secure EMR is a natural extension of our technology offerings, as our clients have looked to us to provide and easy to use, affordable, and compliant EHR that fits the needs and workflows of the Puerto Rican practice," said Secure EDI CEO, Barry Byrd. "We are excited to collaborate with our technology partner MedLink, to provide our network of physicians in Puerto Rico a CCHIT 2011 Certified Ambulatory EHR and 2011/2012 ONC-ATCB certified EHR that will assist them in qualifying for 'meaningful use'."
