A Better EMR

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - October 2, 2008 - Practice Fusion Inc., the leader in free, web-based physician practice applications, today announced the release of its Next Generation, Flash-based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) suite. Practice Fusion's new EMR 2.0 includes features for patient demographic, diagnosis and medication management, vital gathering, SOAP note creation, along with integrated video-based training. Practice Fusion is also the first EMR vendor to support the Google Chrome, Apple/Mac Safari 3, Mozilla Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8 Browsers.

As the first EMR to be offered completely free and web-based (announced in October, 2007), Practice Fusion is now being used in 45 states, by nearly 2,000 users, and is one of the fastest growing EMR communities in the US. The company continues to focus on innovation by leveraging and supporting latest technology. Practice Fusion is now supported on all major operating systems and web browsers, thereby lowering the barriers to entry for physician practices and eliminating significant technology hurdles present with other vendors.

"Today marks a significant milestone towards creating the first electronic medical record system that has the ability to share patient records between doctors without the barriers of technology, distance or cost" said Ryan Howard, Chief Executive Officer at Practice Fusion. "This is another example of how Practice Fusion is innovating in the traditionally conservative and slow-moving healthcare IT market."

Since it is completely free and web-based, Practice Fusion is ubiquitous, enabling physician, nurses and office staff to access it from any internet-enabled computer, whether PC, Mac or Linux, without installing and managing software. The result is a powerful tool enabling physicians to chart from their offices, hospitals and homes, as well as have access to patient records from anywhere in the event of an emergency. Practice Fusion continues to provide physicians with freedom of choice when it comes to running their practice and accessing key patient data from anywhere, at any time.
