Practice Fusion Outpaces Major Competitors, Exceeds 1,300 Medical Professionals in ‘08

Practice Fusion outpaces larger competitors acquiring over 300,000 patients and 1,300 medical professionals to its free, web-based, service in ‘08

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. Aug 6, 2008--Practice Fusion, the leader in free, web-based physician practice applications, announced today the addition of 1,300 medical professionals since its launch in November of 2007 and is currently serving more than a quarter million patients. Practice Fusion’s continued growth within the physician practice community stems from the delivery of a free, web-based and easy-to-use electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management service with industry-leading features and functionality.

“Physicians realize our value and are flocking to our service,” said Ryan Howard, chairman and CEO of Practice Fusion. “Adoption of our model is reaching new heights - over 1,300 medical professionals throughout the U.S. realize the success that is possible through our vision of 'no cost physician practice applications’ and we are now outpacing much larger vendors.”

Much of Practice Fusion’s continued growth within the physician practice community can be attributed to the ‘Live in Five’ process. Competing vendors in the market typically require practices to ‘rip and replace’ their existing systems. On-site installation disrupts workflow in the office and reduces productivity and profitability. Whereas, Practice Fusion’s ‘Live in Five’ process allows users to activate and start using the product within five minutes of signing up. This unique process pushes Practice Fusion to the evolutionary forefront of the medical professional community.

“In spite of the fact that I had never used an EMR in my 38 years of practice, Practice Fusion is very easy to learn,” said Dr. Don Cauthen of Today Clinic in Oklahoma City. “I really don't understand why every physician does not take advantage of Practice Fusion’s product and support.”

Dr. James Miller of Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry in Salt Lake City said, “[I] appreciate being able to access client information from home and the total migration process took less than two days.” The Practice Fusion EMR is free, web-based and low risk.
