"The time is now," said Ryan Howard, CEO and Founder of Practice Fusion. "If you're a doctor and want to collect your stimulus cash, only Practice Fusion gives you a free EHR that you can start using today.  The legacy vendors continue to promote a failure model by selling antiquated technology that costs tens of thousands of dollars and takes months to implement.  Practice Fusion is the choice of nearly 100,000 healthcare professionals and we're giving you the easiest path to incentives."

Key Facts:
