History

Founded by Scott Leum, a podiatric physician, and Donald Schoen, in February of 1996, MediNotes originally developed and sold a package called PodNotes, a product marketed primarily at the Podiatry discipline. Eventually the product spread to other disciplines and the name was changed to Charting Plus. Leum would leave MediNotes in 2000 to pursue other interests. A few years later, Charting Plus was renamed MediNotes e.[5] Don Schoen previously owned and operated another software firm prior to MediNotes called Retail Management Systems.[1]

MediNotes gained some notoriety following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Mobile, Alabama, podiatrist Dr William Rogers was cited in the press as having used Charting Plus in his practice. Dr Rogers had his entire electronic system backed up onto tapes, safeguarding the patient records, something he noted would have been difficult with paper.[6]

In 2008, MediNotes acquired Bond Technologies, a Tampa, Florida, based corporation and using their superior EMR technology renamed Bond Clinician can called it MediNotes Clinician; which was very short lived.

The following year, Atlanta, GA, based Eclipsys acquired the MediNotes Corporation. MediNotes Clinician was renamed PeakPractice and the original MediNotes e was sunsetted. Allscripts then acquired Eclipsys and announced the sunsetting of PeakPractice (formerly Bond Clinican) and replaced all previous MediNotes software offerings with Allscripts products.
