Practice Fusion provides a free, web-based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system to physicians. With charting, scheduling, e-prescribing, billing, lab integrations, unlimited support and a Personal Health Record for patients, Practice Fusion's EMR addresses the complex needs of today's healthcare providers and disrupts the health IT status quo.
Practice Fusion was founded by a SaaS-innovator, who recognized that the traditional landscape of expensive, hard-to-use EHR systems simply wouldn't work for the 80% of US physicians who practice in offices of under nine providers – essentially small businesses.
By applying best practices from consumer internet technology, Practice Fusion created a free EMR available instantly online for physicians and medical professionals. Practice Fusion's free system competes directly with $50,000+ legacy EMR solutions.
Practice Fusion's community grew 400% in 2009, thanks in part to the ARRA stimulus plan creating new incentives for doctors to go digital. Practice Fusion is now the fastest growing EMR community in the country. The company is backed by salesforce.com and Morgenthaler Ventures.
