This democratized advanced EHR functionalities, empowering smaller practices with tools traditionally unavailable.

The company supports professionals in delivering efficient, effective care.
Key people at Practice Fusion.
Practice Fusion is a leading technology company that provides the largest cloud-based ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) platform in the U.S., serving over 30,000 medical practices and supporting care for approximately 5 million patients monthly. Its intuitive, easy-to-use EHR software is designed primarily for small and independent medical practices, enabling efficient clinical workflows, e-prescribing, scheduling, billing, and integration with labs, pharmacies, and imaging centers. Practice Fusion’s platform helps improve healthcare outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance patient experiences across the healthcare ecosystem[1][4][5].
Founded in 2005 by Ryan Howard and co-founders Alan Wong, Jonathan Malek, and Matthew Douglass, Practice Fusion emerged from the vision to create a web-based, accessible EHR system that could overcome the complexity and cost barriers faced by smaller practices. The first product launched in 2007, and despite initial slow traction, it grew rapidly to become the fastest-growing EHR in the U.S. by 2014, managing over 100 million patient records and facilitating millions of ambulatory visits annually[4][1].
Practice Fusion rides the wave of digital transformation in healthcare, particularly the shift toward cloud computing and interoperability in health IT. The timing aligns with increasing regulatory demands for meaningful use of EHRs, value-based care models, and the need for cost-effective solutions for smaller practices often underserved by traditional EHR vendors. By enabling data sharing across labs, pharmacies, and care providers, Practice Fusion contributes to coordinated care and improved patient outcomes. Its platform also supports the broader ecosystem by facilitating innovation in clinical programs and healthcare delivery[1][4].
Looking ahead, Practice Fusion is positioned to continue expanding its footprint among independent and small medical practices, leveraging ongoing enhancements in cloud technology, AI-driven clinical decision support, and interoperability standards. Trends such as telehealth integration, patient engagement tools, and data analytics for population health will likely shape its evolution. As healthcare increasingly demands seamless, data-driven care coordination, Practice Fusion’s accessible and integrated platform could deepen its influence in democratizing health IT and improving care delivery efficiency[1][4][5].
