Independent medical practices, like yours, are the cornerstone of personalized healthcare, fostering close patient relationships and community well-being. We understand the unique challenges you face in an era of rapid change and increasing complexity. As your trusted vendor, Practice Fusion is here to support you— from navigating operational constraints and workforce shortages to administrative burdens—so you can focus on what matters most: providing exceptional care to your patients.

Workforce challenges

Staff shortages

Competition with larger healthcare organizations can make it difficult for independent practices to hire and retain qualified medical staff, straining your operations and impacting patient care. A report by Deloitte highlights the growing workforce shortage in healthcare, disproportionately affecting smaller practices like yours.

How Practice Fusion helps

With your Practice Fusion EHR, you can alleviate some of these challenges:

  • Efficiency through automation: Utilize features that reduce administrative workloads, allowing your existing staff to operate more efficiently.
  • Streamlined workflows: Maximize productivity with our user-friendly interface, designed to help you do more with less.

Combatting burnout

Physician burnout remains a serious concern, especially for smaller practices facing long hours and administrative pressures. While recent data shows a decline in burnout rates, it’s essential to continue addressing this issue

  • Automate routine tasks: Take advantage of automation for billing, coding, and appointment scheduling.

Keeping your staff updated on new technologies, compliance requirements, and best practices is essential but challenging with limited resources.

Administrative burden

Increased paperwork

We know administrative tasks can be overwhelming and detract from patient care. Based on data from the National Library of Medicine, physicians in small practices spend a considerable portion of their day on paperwork which detracts from patient care.

How Practice Fusion helps

Handling administrative tasks shouldn’t take away from patient care. Here’s how Practice Fusion alleviates the burden of increased paperwork:

  • Automated billing and coding: Use our automated features to reduce manual data entry.
  • Customizable templates: Tailor templates to your practice to streamline documentation.
  • Advanced reporting: Get built-in reporting tools for easy access to necessary data.

Staffing for non-clinical tasks

Without the resources to hire additional administrative staff, clinicians like you often have to handle non-clinical duties. This stretches your time even further, potentially impacting the quality of patient care.

How Practice Fusion helps

Managing non-clinical tasks shouldn’t detract from patient care. You can empower your practice to operate more smoothly with your Practice Fusion EHR:

  • Integrated platform: Use our EHR’s ability to consolidate and streamline administrative functions such as billing, scheduling, and documentation. By making the most of these integrated features, your existing staff can manage non-clinical duties more efficiently.
