Athenahealth takes a huge initiative for more HIT innovation

Ambulatory and hospital electronic health records (EHRs) vendor athenahealth is providing space in its San Francisco office for as many as 200 entrepreneurs to boost HIT innovation.

“By consolidating fresh talent, we can assist fast-track innovative solutions to market, making healthcare IT much more relevant, worthy and ‘shop-able’ for providers and their patients,” CEO Jonathan Bush stated in a statement.

The program is called MDP Labs and open to healthcare and technology entrepreneurs from seed-stage startups to mature companies, and athenahealth won’t take equity in the companies.

Internal research and development and business experts will assist the companies design programs, get feedback from athenahealth, its super-users and a network of advisors.

The program also gives access to athenahealth providers and beta programs. For more information, please visit here.
