Practice Fusion is a web-based electronic health record (EHR) company based in San Francisco, CA. The company was founded in 2005 by Ryan Howard and acquired by Allscripts in 2018.[2]
In 2013 the company was said to be valued at $700M[3] and in 2014, Practice Fusion was the largest cloud-based electronic health record (EHR) platform for doctors and patients,.[4] Practice Fusion is used by more than 112,000 monthly active healthcare professionals with over 100 million patient records under management. In 2014, Practice Fusion's EHR facilitated over 56 million patient visits (approximately 6% of all ambulatory visits in the US) and was the fastest growing EHR in the US.[4]
In 2015, Howard left the company[5] and Tom Langan became interim CEO.[6][7] Under Langan's leadership, the company contributed to the opioid epidemic in the United States by engaging in a kickback scheme to increase the volume of opioid prescriptions amidst its clients and their respective patients.[8] The company has been charged a $145 million fine, the largest criminal fine in Vermont's history.[8] According to Bloomberg: "Practice Fusion admitted to the scheme with an unnamed opioid maker, though the details of the government case closely match a public research partnership between Practice Fusion and Purdue Pharma Inc., which makes OxyContin".[9] In June 2018 the company transitioned over to a paid subscription based system.[10] Practice Fusion is available to users in the USA only.
