# simplifyMD: Healthcare IT Platform for Medical Practices
simplifyMD is a cloud-based healthcare software company that provides Electronic Health Records (EHR), Practice Management (PM), and Patient Health Record technologies to physicians and medical administrators.[1] The company targets small to mid-sized medical practices seeking to transition from paper-based systems to digital workflows without operational disruption.
The platform addresses a specific pain point in the healthcare IT market: the complexity and implementation burden of traditional EHR systems. Rather than forcing practices to overhaul their workflows, simplifyMD's approach mirrors physicians' existing charts, uses their forms, and preserves their clinical processes.[2] This philosophy positions the company as an alternative to enterprise-grade EHR solutions, focusing on ease of adoption and immediate return on investment for practices making the digital transition.
simplifyMD was founded in Atlanta and based in Alpharetta, Georgia.[1] The company emerged from a clear market observation: physicians experience significant stress and complexity when purchasing and deploying traditional EHR systems. The founding team recognized that many practices, particularly smaller ones, needed a simpler entry point into electronic health records rather than the heavy-duty, disruptive implementations offered by larger vendors.
By 2013, the company was actively raising capital, securing $1.8M in funding.[3] By the time of its Series A round, simplifyMD had demonstrated four years of operational success as a SaaS solution delivering measurable return on investment to its customers.[4] This early traction validated the market demand for physician-friendly EHR software.
simplifyMD operates within the broader healthcare IT digitization trend, where practices continue transitioning from paper-based to electronic systems. The company's timing capitalized on meaningful regulatory drivers—including Meaningful Use requirements and ICD-10 compliance mandates—that created urgency for practices to modernize.[2]
The company's market positioning reflects a broader pattern in healthcare software: the recognition that one-size-fits-all enterprise solutions often fail for smaller practices. By focusing on ease of use and workflow preservation, simplifyMD addressed a gap between complex, expensive enterprise EHR systems and the needs of primary care and specialty practices of various sizes.
simplifyMD's trajectory culminated in a merger with Azalea Health in July 2021, marking a significant milestone in the company's evolution.[1] This consolidation combined simplifyMD's user-friendly EHR designed for practices transitioning from paper with Azalea Health's more comprehensive suite including billing and practice management software, creating a more competitive offering across a broader physician base.[1]
The merger reflects the healthcare IT market's consolidation dynamics, where smaller, specialized vendors increasingly combine to compete against larger, entrenched players. For simplifyMD, integration into Azalea Health's platform provided the resources, product breadth, and market reach that would have been difficult to achieve independently. The combined entity positioned itself to serve practices seeking both simplicity and comprehensive functionality—a balance that remains central to healthcare IT competition.
simplifyMD has raised $5.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $5.0M Series A in November 2011.
