Practice Fusion Guarantees HHS Certification

A letter from Practice Fusion’s CEO, Ryan Howard:

The money is on the table. And the rumors about what it will take for doctors to qualify for HITECH incentives are flying. Certain health IT interests groups are pushing mistruths in order to promote physician adoption of expensive, bulky, legacy EHR programs.

The truth is that you can’t qualify an EHR for certification that doesn’t exist yet.

Another truth: Traditional EHR technology can’t change fast enough to adapt a client’s systems to evolving certification criteria.

Practice Fusion guarantees that physicians using our EHR will qualify for Meaningful Use before HITECH payments begin January 2011.

This guarantee is more than just a promise. Practice Fusion’s certification guarantee is backed by our unique technology and expertise advantages in the sector. No other EHR is as flexible and affordable as Practice Fusion's.

Why Practice Fusion’s Guarantee Means More:

Our EHR Technology

Practice Fusion’s SaaS platform can be instantly upgraded without any of the hardware updates, software installs and consultant visits required for enhancements by other EHR programs. Our team is expert at this already and regularly delivers technology updates to our community (Just ask one of our users). Once the HHS certification rules are set, Practice Fusion will be able to quickly release any required enhancements to our entire user community seamlessly with no cost and no downtime. Learn more about our EHR technology.

Our Health Policy Expertise

Practice Fusion has been closely tracking the development of HITECH criteria from the very start. Our Chief Medical Officer and VP of Clinical Affairs (both physicians themselves) actively participate in the discussion with ONCHIT and the HIT Policy group. With their help, Practice Fusion has developed a detailed roadmap for enhancements based on the preliminary HHS “Meaningful Use” matrix. View our EHR certification roadmap.

We Know Time is Money

Other EHR’s may guarantee a percentage of your money back or a certain number of months free if they don’t meet HHS criteria, but none can promise the price, real-time updates and convenience of Practice Fusion. Our EHR can be set-up online in minutes with no practice downtime. And since our system is free, your practice isn’t gambling with future HITECH incentive funds. Read testimonials from our EHR community.

I personally guarantee that Practice Fusion’s EHR will be HHS certified. And the way that our product is fundamentally designed guarantees it as well.
