Medaxis was founded in 2000 to create a true Eletronic Health Record (EHR) solution that answers the needs of all health care delivery stakeholders: patients, providers, payers, and government. Medaxis products, 360EHR & Origin RIS, unify the process of care in a single system that handles clinical data, diagnostic, e-prescription, imaging, order entry/tracking, Billing and practice management in one seamless end to end system.

Medaxis's founders are physicians, informatics scientists, health care providers, administrators, and practitioners from UCLA in collaboration with RAND and the University of Washington. These individuals worked together for years on the clinical, technical and practical aspects of health care delivery, funded by over $40m in grants from the NIH and private agencies.

The culmination of the team’s work was an 18-month period of intensive modeling of the process of care in order to define an ideal EHR — which Medaxis considers to be The process of care in electronic form — before a single line of code was written.
