Free, web-based EHR is named top vendor for customer satisfaction among primary care specialties by an independent survey of 30,000 ambulatory medical providers

SAN FRANCISCO – January 18, 2011 – Practice Fusion has been awarded as the No. 1 EHR vendor in customer satisfaction for primary care specialties by Brown-Wilson’s annual Black Book Rankings. The free, web-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) system earned top marks across 18 criteria including overall performance, innovation, reliability, security and best of breed technology. Practice Fusion is the fastest growing EHR community in the US with 65,000 users serving 7 million patients.

Practice Fusion earned top EHR awards for General Practice, Family Practice and Geriatrics specialties over vendors Amazing Charts, Greenway and Allscripts. The free EHR also received 31 No. 1 recognitions across 18 different scoring criteria for each of the four specialties, more top honors than any other EHR vendor, including:

• No. 1 for Vendor Overall Preference/Vertical Industry Recommendations (GP, FP, Geriatrics)
• No. 1 for Breadth of Offerings, Client Types, Delivery Excellence (GP, FP, Geriatrics)
• No. 1 Reliability (GP, Geriatrics)
• No. 1 for Brand Image and Marketing Communications (GP, FP, Geriatrics)
• No. 1 for Support and Customer Care (GP, FP, Geriatrics)
• No. 1 For Best of Breed Technology and Process Improvement (GP, FP, Geriatrics)

“This report proves that a free EHR absolutely can be the best EHR in the market. To be ranked No. 1 is an incredible honor and reflects the strength of our community and our team,” said Ryan Howard, CEO of Practice Fusion. “Now, there is conclusively no reason for a doctor to pay tens of thousands of dollars for an EHR system when they can get the highest levels of customer satisfaction from Practice Fusion absolutely free.”

The company is focused on delivering easy-to-use technology to medical providers in small and mid-sized practices across the country, especially among primary care specialties.

CPT Codes
The CPT Codes provided are based on AMA Guidelines and are for informational purposes only. CPT Coding is the sole responsibility of the billing party. Please direct any questions regarding CPT Coding to the payer being billed.

Panels and Profiles
If you have any questions regarding the individual components of a panel or profile, please cross-reference your hard copy version of Quest Diagnostics Reference Manual or Directory of Services or call your Quest Diagnostics Representative.

Reflex Tests
Quest Diagnostics offers its clients three types of reflex testing; standard required reflex tests, standard reflex tests and client specific reflex tests. Clients order reflex testing when they want additional tests performed automatically if the results of the first test meet or exceed the specified criteria.
