Mocingbird, a local company that offers a continuing medical education (CME) management platform, announced recently that it will team up with CertifyOS, a platform for credentialing and licensing, to integrate their platforms to create data sharing for clinician licensure and education.
According to Ian Madom, co-founder and CEO of Mocingbird, the partnership with CertifyOS has been developing over the past six months and started with a common customer, 30 Madison. Madom said the two companies began with the idea to reduce friction on the customer side.
"We spent time building connections between our platforms so that both systems are effectively speaking to each other regularly. Both companies are API driven with CertifyOS primarily interfacing with administrators, and Mocingbird primarily interfacing with clinicians," he said. "Therefore, if a new license is obtained, it automatically populates in our system with the appropriate requirements to maintain that license as a clinician completes those requirements, that information is pushed back into the CertifyOS system."
Madom said it successfully went live in September and now they are offering our combined, end-to-end solution to the wider market. Mocingbird is based in Wakefield and was founded by Dr. Madom, an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon, and Interventional Cardiologist Dr. George Fernaine.
"We are the only company in our space that truly focus on the clinician. It is part of our culture and also our mission. We design and implement our tools with the needs and workflows of clinicians in mind to make compliance easy," Madom said. "We are also the only company in the ecosystem that has automated ongoing license requirements. This is where our partnership with CertifyOS works so well. They have automated credentialing and provider data management, with their primary interface being healthcare administrators. Mocingbird as a clinician-facing platform automates the management, and effectively the renewal of licenses and certifications healthcare providers hold to continue caring for patients."
After a challenging year, Madom said the Mocingbird team currently stands at 12 members after the company needed to become learner.
"We expect to start growing the team a bit in 2023 to meet the needs of a growing user base and projects that will produce new features and integrations," he said.
In terms of fundraising, Madom said Mocingbird has been supported by a network of angel investors, many of whom are clinicians themselves.
"With our significant growth this year, we are currently speaking with institutional investors about a larger round of fundraising," he said.
