Practice Fusion was founded in 2005 and initially promoted its electronic medical record system to doctors for $300 per month. In 2009, in order to promote medical reform, the US government issued a bill that stipulates that doctors in clinics who use electronic medical records systems before 2015 will receive a medical insurance bonus of $44,000 to $64,000, and otherwise, they will receive a fine. At that time, electronic medical record systems were expensive in the United States, and the usage fee for several years often required tens of thousands of dollars, which discouraged many doctors. In the same year, Practice Fusion took advantage of the situation to launch a free system—doctors only need to agree to transfer ownership of the system's medical records to the company. Today, the number of users has increased from a few hundred in 2009 to about 120,000, bringing about 65 million medical records. In 2012 alone, the company brought about $100 million in government rewards to small clinics.
