Practice FusionPractice Fusion: low-duty but perfect for the small, non-profit clinic2019-01-10T02:18:49.758ZI work as a co-director for a biweekly evening health clinic that serves the Sacramento greater area's transgender population by providing hormone and/or PrEP prescriptions, as well as STI testing. We use Practice Fusion to document all of our patient visits, including the schedule, the patient's account of personal and medical information, a PDF file of their lab results, and notes for all visits. In this way, it addresses the problem of needing a centralized database to access information so that our patients can get standardized and quality care with accurate continuity. At our clinic, the software is used by front desk admin, the health services director, undergraduate volunteers (who record vitals onto PF), the medical students who run the clinic, and the physician preceptors who support them.,PF provides a very intuitive interface that is very easy to learn, which is especially important in our clinic because as an academic teaching environment we are constantly onboarding new volunteers who need to use this software for the first time and need to learn to do so quickly.
PF provides low prices for free or non-profit clinics, which is the main reason why we use it. As a free student-run community clinic, we would otherwise not be able to afford a good EMR.
I especially like the interface for the patient schedule, which has a really easy way to record vitals and where the patient is (in the lobby, in a specific room, etc) that I like better than other EMRs I've used.,One of the biggest frustrations is that PF only imports PDFs of lab results, but does nothing to allow manipulation of the numbers within these PDFs. I can pull up lab results but can't look at a graph, for example, of trends in serum sodium or hematocrit.
Like EPIC, it would be nice to have an option like scrolling to all the "***"s using F2, which I always try to do on PF until I realize it does not work.
I wish PF had more dot phrases to pull in things like lab results, etc., into the note. Since I cannot copy and paste lab results (which are stored in PDF) or blow them in with a dot phrase, I have to manually re-write them, which leaves our notes more vulnerable to human error. If this feature DOES exist, it isn't obvious to me or anyone in our clinic.
It would be really nice to hear from PF support to see if we had any unmet needs in the clinic so that they could educate us on how to better use this EMR to support those needs.,7,PF has made it possible for us to run a clinic on a very low budget by students who are learning and might not quite know what they are doing. I think that PF has been perfect to that end.,,Slack,Other specialty,11-25 practitionersElias NashPractice Fusion: The Key to Fusion Within the Office :P2019-01-08T18:35:30.288ZCurrently, Practice Fusion is used by me and the Doctor I work for. She does the patient charting and I handle all the administrative side of things. So anything from uploading charts, intake papers, lab requests we do within Practice Fusion- so we do not both have to be at the same location at the same time.
We needed to find a tool that we could log in from anywhere and use via the web, not a computer-based solution.
We also needed somewhere for document storage, and we are able to upload all patient files to Practice Fusion.
I think the best thing about the tool is being able to use it from the web.,Document storage- You can upload documents and attach them to specific patients. As well as flag documents that need to be signed, and assign them to specific doctors.
Charting- Very detailed integration for charting.
Reporting- We really enjoy the reports we can pull from within the software.,When uploading documents, I wish you could assign multiple documents to the "same settings"- for example, 5 documents uploaded to the same patient and the same doctor.
We honestly don't use Practice Fusion to its fullest functionality- we could use the communication and scheduling tools more often.
The "view" feature for documents doesn't always work and I'm unsure if this has to do with the document or their side of things- but this would be a great feature if it functioned properly.,7,Practice Fusion is free for us to use so I believe it has had a positive impact on our ROI.,Chiro8000 and ChiroTouch,Genbook, ChiroTouch,Other specialty,Solo practiceMelanie HaasPractice Fusion - give it a whirl2018-04-13T23:09:01.195ZPractice Fusion is our EHR.

Our entire practice uses it for medical record keeping and e prescribing.,You can't beat the cost
The program is easy to use.
It has several good billing partners,Some of the features have not yet been implemented and they are listed in the forum as "coming soon" but dated over a year ago. We have been suggesting an alert or message feature that does not become part of the chart for over a year. This would be a way for staff to communicate important information to each other.
Update 2017: Almost 3 years later, this is still listed as "coming soon". Other EHR's that I have used have a feature such as an exclamation mark that alert every provider working with a patient that there is important information pertinent to their care.
It gets "hung up" in the afternoons at times and becomes very slow.,9,This product saves documentation time with templates and is very cost effective.
