‘Practice Fusion, a provider of a cloud-based electronic health record system available free to physicians, has struck a unique partnership with BioReference Laboratories. Under the deal, in addition to feeding lab data into Practice Fusion e-health records, BioReference will encourage its network of 15,000 doctors to use Practice Fusion’s system.
“With this deal, we’ve gained another 15,000 physicians,” says the EHR vendor’s CEO Ryan Howard. That’s providing, of course, that all 15,000 doctors who use BioReference labs for patient tests sign on for Practice Fusion’s free software-as-a-service applications. Besides EHR, Practice Fusion offers e-prescription, billing, scheduling, charting, and other medical apps. Only a small percentage of BioReference physicians currently use EHR systems, Howard said.”
