Practice Partner, now part of the McKesson Corporation, is a leading provider of integrated electronic health record and practice management software. Founded in 1983 as Physician Micro Systems, Inc. and renamed to Practice Partner in 2006, our company is grounded in the daily reality of providing mission-critical clinical and administrative systems for thousands of doctors and their staff. Where others have failed, Practice Partner has succeeded by developing products for the ambulatory medical environment that have improved patient care while streamlining patient administration. This has been accomplished through technological leadership and vision, a financial and operational prudence that is rare in our industry, and steady growth, thus ensuring long-term support for our customers.
The Practice Partner product line is a complete set
of clinical and administrative tools designed to enhance
all aspects of the modern medical office. It includes
Patient Records, a leading electronic medical records
system; Appointment Scheduler, a sophisticated multi-clinic
scheduler; and Medical Billing, a comprehensive practice
management system. Our systems are used nationwide by over 1,800 practices of all sizes
and specialties, from solo-practicioner offices to large enterprise multi-site clinics.
We believe that the success of Practice Partner
products is a function of listening to our customers,
taking advantage of new technology, and focusing on
ambulatory care.
At Practice Partner, we are driven by an earnest desire to make
a positive impact on healthcare. We feel privileged
that we are able to fulfill this desire by creating:
- Software programs that help health care practitioners
realize their full potential as caregivers.
- Products that impact the patient directly, resulting
in a healthier, better informed populace.
- A community in which our employees and customers
work together in a spirit of innovation.
- A company environment in which employees are given
an opportunity to realize their potential as individuals
and as members of an enterprise team.
The essence of our mission is - and always has been
- to help our customers flourish while managing our
own business for the long term. This is complex, challenging,
and periodically humbling work - as well as very exciting.
Building mission-critical applications for medicine
requires tremendous attention to the myriad of details
that make the difference between satisfaction and frustration
for our customers. That is why we continue to keep our
focus strictly on the ambulatory medical environment.
In the eighteen years since the release of Practice
Partner Patient Records, we have continued to focus
on the evolution and excellence of our core suite of
Practice Partner products. Improving our products and
enhancing the customer experience is a path that has
no final destination. We will always actively seek ways
to make things better.
A successful company builds its own unique community;
ours consists of our customers, our business partners,
and our employees. As a technology enterprise forging
new ground, our community is an important source of
strength, new ideas, and vitality.
Practice Partner customers are the thousands of providers
and administrative staff at over 1,800 offices representing
both large medical enterprises and small practices.
Our largest Practice Partner site has over 19 million
progress notes on-line, while the smallest sites are
solo practitioners in private practice. Every year,
we bring customers together to share ideas, learn from
each other, and have fun at our annual User Group meeting.
Practice Partner business partners represent a broad cross section
of the strongest and most innovative technology companies
and clinical organizations in the world. The guiding
principle behind our partnerships is to provide additional
value to our customers.
Practice Partner employees are the life-blood of the company. As
a technology growth company, we are focused on creating
an environment where individuals and individual initiative
can thrive. So far we have assembled some of the finest
and most experienced minds in our industry - and we
will continue to search for bright new talent to help
us achieve our dreams.
