Historically, it has been extremely challenging for physicians to follow new clinical trial opportunities available for their patients because of a lack of readily available information on clinical trials being conducted by investigators and sponsors. By integrating with the Practice Fusion platform, ePatientFinder can enable practitioners to quickly learn about and connect their eligible patients to clinical trial opportunities.

"With over 56 million patient encounters in 2014 alone, Practice Fusion is the only EHR platform positioned to benefit millions of patients so quickly by making available clinical trial opportunities," said Ryan Howard, founder and CEO of Practice Fusion.  "Partnering with ePatientFinder directly serves our mission of empowering providers and patients."

"Together we will be able create an unprecedented awareness of clinical trial opportunities for both physicians and patients," said Tom Dorsett, CEO of ePatientFinder. "Until now, patients could only hope that they might hear or see an advertisement to make them aware of clinical trial options. Now they will learn through their trusted physician."
