Sistemas Clínicos es una web-based electronic health record (EHR) company founded in 2005, operated and privately owned by Practice Fusion, Inc. in San Francisco, California.[2]​ The SaaS startup provides physicians and medical professionals with free, advertising-supported EHR and medical practice management technology[3]​ that includes charting, scheduling, e-prescribing (eRx),[4]medical billing,[5]​ lab and imaging center integrations,[6]​ referral letters, Meaningful Use certification,[7]​ training, mobile access,[8]​ support and a personal health record for patients.[9]

As of May 2014, the company reports having more than 112,000 monthly active medical professionals using the EHR and 81 million patient records.

History[editar]

Practice Fusion was founded in 2005 by Ryan Howard,[10]​ previously IT billing integration consultant for 12,000 physicians at Brown & Toland, and engineer Matthew Douglass.[11]​ The first version of the product was launched in 2007 and initially gained little traction in the tough economy.[12]

The company began to grow in 2009 when the EHR and customer support were made free.[11]Band of Angels and Felicis Ventures became the first major investors in the company in May 2009, followed by Salesforce.com in June, Morgenthaler Ventures in December 2010,[11][13]​ and Founders Fund in April 2011.[11]​ The company closed a $70 million Series D round of financing led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers in September 2013, followed by a $15 million Series D extension in December 2013 led by Qualcomm Ventures, bringing total funding to date to $149 million.[14]

The product achieved ONC-ATCB Meaningful Use Certification in June 2011.[7]​ It has been named the No. 1 EMR for customer satisfaction among primary care providers from 2011 to 2013 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.[15][16]​ In September 2013, KLAS Reports named it the No. 1 EHR system for value among ambulatory professionals.[17]

The 2013 State of the Small Practice survey conducted by Practice Fusion indicated that 36 percent of providers were using three to six year old computers. In response, the company launched a "Free EHR + Free Laptop" campaign in 2014. The campaign supplied a complimentary Google Chromebook to new physician users of Practice Fusion's EHR platform to increase incentive.[18]​ The move also further symbolized Practice Fusion's dedication to a free, modern, web-based EHR solution.
