Frequently asked questions
Practice Fusion scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. Practice Fusion (Veradigm) runs a gated developer program: an ONC-certified SMART on FHIR R4 API with 28+ resources, plus proprietary Labs, Imaging, and Billing APIs. Onboarding requires partner registration and a Salesforce portal, with a published fee schedule beyond the mandated FHIR subset.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Practice Fusion is a cloud-based, ambulatory Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform built for independent medical practices.
Vertical: Healthcare (ambulatory EHR + practice management + optional RCM). Clinicians use Practice Fusion in the browser to document encounters, manage the problem list, e-prescribe (including controlled substances via EPCS), order labs and imaging, review and sign results, and chart immunizations.
Practice Fusion is one of the most widely deployed ambulatory EHRs by number of practice sites, particularly in the solo / small-clinic segment where it has been the market-share leader.
Yes, Practice Fusion is the system of record for nearly everything a small ambulatory practice does.
Founded in 2005 by Ryan Howard and headquartered in San Francisco, Practice Fusion grew through the 2010s as the free, ad-supported cloud EHR for small practices, peaking at 112,000+ monthly active clinicians.
Production API access is not self-serve, developers must complete a partner registration form, agree to ToS, and be onboarded through a Salesforce community portal before any credentials are issued. Explicit "Certified EHR API Fees" schedule applies to API consumers beyond the ONC-mandated free FHIR subset, making high-volume integrations a metered cost. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic Systems, NextGen Healthcare, DrChrono (EverHealth), Tebra (Kareo + PatientPop). Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Yes, via a managed API layer. Supergood builds REST APIs and MCP servers for authenticated enterprise web apps, so AI agents and internal tools can read and write data programmatically. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Practice Fusion has partial MCP support. Practice Fusion has no official MCP server, but an actively maintained community server exists on GitHub and npm that provides read only FHIR access to patients, appointments, medications, and labs via the free Open FHIR account. It is not vendor published or listed in the official MCP registry.
Partially. MCP support for Practice Fusion exists but is incomplete, so what MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex can reach depends on what the available server covers.
