Expertise in Healthcare Innovation
Since its inception in 1993, ZyDoc’s mission has been to increase the efficiency of physicians through the use of technology and services to improve patient care, lower malpractice risk, and maximize reimbursements.
ZyDoc is a leading innovator and provider of disruptive, cloud-based medical documentation solutions. In 1993, ZyDoc released one of the first multimedia electronic medical records (EMR) as envisioned by the Institute of Medicine. The prototype was purchased by the Department of Defense and helped serve as a paradigm for the industry. ZyDoc immediately recognized the problem of the data entry bottleneck inherent in EMR systems and has been pursuing solutions since then.
