Practice Fusion
Introduction:
Practice Fusion is an online revolutionary application that allows medical practitioners an electronic method of keeping track and organizing their patients’ files.
Practice Fusion is a San Francisco-based company that has developed a free electronic medical record (EMR). System available to physicians in a software-as-a-service (SaaS). The software, also called Practice Fusion, includes modules for patient management, e-prescribing, scheduling and billing. The company claims to have more than 30,000 users in all 50 states.
Practice Fusion was founded in 2005 by Ryan Howard, previously IT billing integration consultant for 12,000 physicians at Brown & Toland, and engineer Matthew Douglass. The first version of the product was launched in 2007 and initially gained little traction in the tough economy.
The company began to grow in 2009 when the product and customer support were made free. Band of Angels and Felicis Ventures became the first major investors in the company in May 2009, followed by Salesforce.com in June and Morgenthaler Ventures in December 2010. The company closed a $23 million Series B round of financing led by Founders Fund in April 2011. The product achieved ONC-ATCB Meaningful Use Certification in June 2011. It has been named the No. 1 EMR for customer satisfaction among primary care providers in both 2011 and 2012 in addition to being named No. 1 for e-prescribing client satisfaction and helping doctors achieve Meaningful Use by Brown-Wilson’s Black Book Rankings.
