Practice Fusion is a software that offers a range of use cases for healthcare providers. Users appreciate that the software streamlines multiple systems into one, making it easier to manage multiple office sites. The new version of the software allows for time-saving note-taking, eliminating the need to switch between different pages. Medical users find the application to be a perfect tool for smooth day-to-day operations, as it helps with tasks such as MIPS calculation, scheduling appointments, and maintaining clear records. Additionally, the software reduces paperwork and allows for electronic communication with patients and other providers. Practice Fusion is highly customizable and offers features like messaging and patient portal communication. It also offers connectivity options with patients, including telehealth integration, which eases administrative burden. While the software has limitations in customization, it is quick and easy to set up and offers a competitive price. It also helps practices switch to electronic medical records and earn rewards from the government. Overall, users find Practice Fusion beneficial for keeping track of patient information, communicating with stakeholders, and improving workplace efficiency by reducing manual tasks and streamlining workflows.
Users recommend using Practice Fusion for small practices and finding a way to easily delete lab orders in the software. They suggest that Practice Fusion is user-friendly for both patients and healthcare providers/admin, as well as being a good choice for lightweight, comprehensive patient care. Users also note that Practice Fusion is well-organized and easy to learn, which can save money once mastered. However, some users recommend considering a more advanced software option instead of Practice Fusion, as they will be charging in the future. Additionally, users suggest looking for cost-effectiveness and ensuring that medical notes reflect the office's needs. For improvements, users recommend adding text message reminders for patients and having an instant messaging feature for tech support. Overall, users highly recommend Practice Fusion for its ease of use and organization but advise going through all the setup and utilizing forums for efficient use.

Reviews
(1-7 of 7)- 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.
Practice Fusion: The Key to Fusion Within the Office :P
- 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.
Practice Fusion - give it a whirl
- Fast referral preparation
- Easy message
- Easy templates
- Faster updates
- Referral to outside Practice Fusion physicians
- Pinned notes need to pop up in patient record
Practice Fusion gets an A+
- 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.
EMR is Helpful
- Organizes lab work for each patient. Its helpful for us to see a patient at a glance.
- Schedule appointments for patients.
- Have Physician Assistant as a provider status.
- Make the notes section of each patients account displays towards the top of page and not the bottom.
Practice Fusion Review
- Provides MU platform for users.
- Free software...great for smaller/lower volume practices.
- Customization...you get what you pay for.
- Interfacing with hospital systems.
- Ergonomics of system...not intuitive.
Practice Fusion can turn effort into MONEY in real-time!
- Meaningful use compliance
- Proper Documentation
- A web-based application that does not need an additional IT vendor to setup.
- I'd suggest adding more CQMs.
