Practice Fusion currently has iPhone and Android applications in private beta testing. The mobile solutions will provide a free, lightweight and secure way for medical professionals to stay connected on the go and mark another step in the company's aggressive mobile strategy.

4medica, provider of the industry's leading cloud software-as-a-service (SaaS) Integrated Electronic Health Record solution, today announced launching the first version of its 4medica Mobile app for smartphones and tablets to give physicians 24/7 access to up-to-date clinical data whenever and wherever needed. Whether on rounds, at home or working remote, doctors can view critical laboratory, pathology and radiology results, demographics, notes, patient lists and trending data from multiple sources and render informed decisions via smartphones and tablets.
4medica Mobile is part of the company's product development strategy to extend the reach of its integrated inpatient and ambulatory EHR solutions into the mobile healthcare market.
4medica Mobile for smartphones and tablets aggregates data via its cloud platform linking multiple sources including commercial and hospital reference laboratories, EHRs, ancillary systems and radiology clinics to produce a more dynamic, interactive and useful application. This vast connectivity can support a hospital's clinical data integration strategy to fulfill meaningful use gaps or accountable care organization (ACO) requirements to qualify for federal funding and shared savings, while engaging healthcare professionals more fully in healthcare.
Moreover, approximately 7 to 10 billion laboratory tests are performed annually, driving more than 70 percent of medical diagnoses and treatment regiments, according to the American Society for Clinical Pathology. Given the volume and the essential role tests play in patient diagnosis and treatment, it is not surprising that researchers have found lab results constitute nearly 70 percent of the data stored in an EMR.
For example, a physician can use 4medica Mobile to notify a patient of an abnormal test result in searching for and dialing that person's phone number, or find out if a test was previously performed. In essence, a handheld results reporting tool contributes to higher quality care while supporting a more efficiently run medical operation through reductions in duplicate tests and costs associated with traditional results distribution methods, e.g., fax, mailing, print and courier.
I'll preface this story by stating that the idea of drchrono is something that I really like. An EHR system, built from the ground up to run on the iPad platform is daring stuff and I'm a big fan.
Today they're announcing a set of new product offerings, the most important of which is free e-prescribing. According to the announcement making this free e-prescribing feature available means that all of the functionality a doctor needs to qualify for Meaningful Use incentives is available through drchrono, and it's free.
With these new features drchrono believes they have virtually eliminated the barriers to electronic health record adoption for small practices who otherwise may not have the full resources to achieve Meaningful Use. The new products available in this latest app upgrade also include FreeDraw and faxing, directly from the drchrono iPad app.
Free E-Prescribing—Writing prescriptions from the drchrono iPad app is now free for all users. Select any drug, anytime – from anywhere – and send the prescription directly to the pharmacy for the patient to pick up.
FreeDraw—With FreeDraw, a physician can do freehand, color-coded drawings on any document, including X-rays, skeletal diagrams, etc. For example, a physician can circle an area on an X-ray, write a note, and then send the X-ray with the drawing on it to a referring physician or specialist for review.
Faxing—Physicians can now send faxes from the drchrono iPad app or Web application. Simply select the option to send a fax directly from the patient's record, enter a fax number, and attach a cover sheet with a personal note.
