AMA has formed a partnership with Ingenix

New market moves:

The American Medical Association is making progress on its plan to be the electronic platform physicians use to upgrade their practices with the latest technology.

Chicago-based AMA has formed a partnership with UnitedHealth Group's Ingenix subsidiary to "help physicians adopt and implement electronic health records," the two groups said in a statement provided to the Tribune. As part of the deal, the AMA will offer Ingenix CareTracker, a Web-based medical record system, through its Web site.

The AMA said Ingenix will be part of a yet-to-be-named larger platform being created on its site to help physicians develop new technologies to enhance their practices and improve their day-to-day work environment. The group said multiple options will be given to doctors beyond the Ingenix technology.
