Practice Fusion, the leader in free, on-demand physician practice solutions, today announced its Q1 growth, including the on-boarding of 5 partners, 500 users and 100,000 patients. Practice Fusion's rapid growth stems from delivering a free, on-demand and easy-to-use electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management service with industry-leading features and functionality. In terms of both customers and subscribers, Practice Fusion is one of the fastest growing medical professional communities in the country.
"Practice Fusion has added more users in the past quarter than the majority of our competitors will in an entire year," said Ryan Howard, Chairman and CEO, Practice Fusion. "Solutions
from vendors, such as Misys and NextGen, come with major hurdles for technology adoption by physician practices, specifically cost, complex implementation and lengthy training. Practice
Fusion differentiates by offering a solution that is free, takes less than five minutes to implement and where users can be using the system the same day. The result is that Practice
Fusion is the advocate for small physician offices across the US who struggle to stay afloat in today's volatile market."
Practice Fusion's unique technology platform allows partners to extend value-added services directly to the desktop of users. This has resulted in the Practice Fusion EMR becoming
exponentially more valuable to users, as they have the ability to leverage ancillary services that are directly integrated with the Practice Fusion service. The major expansion of
Practice Fusion's partner network, includes the addition of Healthline Networks, MTBC, Practice Protection, MDNG, Connectance to deliver exceptional value-added services and tools to the
Practice Fusion community, including medical search, billing services, malpractice services, healthcare news and medical diagnostics, respectively.
"Practice Fusion offers one of the most robust, cost-effective EMR solutions on the market which is critical to reducing healthcare costs by improving office efficiency and doctor-patient
insights," said West Shell III, chairman and CEO of Healthline Networks. "As the exclusive health search and advertising partner for Practice Fusion, Healthline will help connect
thousands of physicians and their patients to higher quality, relevant information and products in real-time, enabling them to make more informed decisions."
"Our integration with Practice Fusion presents a seamless continuum from enriched patient encounter to reimbursement--at an undeniably compelling price point," said David Rosenblum,
president of MTBC, which since 1999 has performed comprehensive medical billing nationwide for only 5% of collections. "We look forward to working with more and more providers who require
on-demand access to real-time, transparent A/R reporting and analysis."
"We are excited to partner with Practice Fusion and to be able to complement our product offering with their EMR service," said Lolly Leger, CEO of Practice Protection Fund. "By
leveraging both our insurance services and Practice Fusion's EMR, small physician groups will have the ability to remain cost competitive in an increasingly expensive market to practice
medicine."
