Practice Fusion helps thousands of small practices manage EHR workflows efficiently. But when it comes to clinical documentation, many clinicians still find themselves spending hours each day on notes.

Freed was built to complement EHRs like Practice Fusion — making documentation faster without changing how you work. This guide walks through what to look for in an AI scribe and how Freed fits naturally into Practice Fusion-based workflows.

Why do clinicians add AI scribes to Practice Fusion? 

The documentation burden in healthcare has reached a breaking point. Some clinicians spend 2+ hours daily on notes, often extending their workday well into the evening. This "pajama time" documentation not only impacts work-life balance but also limits patient capacity and practice revenue.

While Practice Fusion delivers the core tools small practices need, it falls short on one important front — AI capabilities. That gap often leaves clinicians bogged down with manual data entry.

For practices already using Practice Fusion, the right AI scribe can close that gap, streamlining workflows without the cost or disruption of switching EHRs. The key is choosing a solution that fits into your current process.

What to look for in a Practice Fusion AI scribe

Not all AI scribes are created equal, especially when it comes to Practice Fusion integration. Here are the most important considerations: 

• EHR compatibility and seamless workflow integration: The best Practice Fusion AI scribes work within your existing workflow rather than disrupting it.
• Note accuracy without human QA: Accuracy is non-negotiable in medical documentation, so top-tier AI scribes should provide high transcription accuracy.
• Ease of use and quick setup: Look for same-day deployment and intuitive interfaces that require minimal training. Clinicians should be able to onboard in an instant. 
• Specialty-specific support: This ensures your AI scribe understands the nuances of your medical specialty. The best ones can even recognize specialty-specific medical terminology. Look for pre-built, specialty-specific templates and flexible template builders for unique clinical needs. 

Freed users have often reported that competitors like Heidi can be difficult to use and somewhat confusing. Freed’s ease of use is an important differentiator. 

Why Freed stands out as a Practice Fusion AI scribe

Freed has emerged as the leading AI scribe solution for small practices using Practice Fusion. Unlike enterprise solutions designed for large health systems, Freed understands small practice realities. Here are some features that are unique to Freed that make it a perfect pairing to Practice Fusion:

1. Freed's plug-and-play Chrome extension works directly inside Practice Fusion  and doesn’t require complex Practice Fusion integrations. The process is remarkably simple: install the extension from the Chrome Web Store, log into your Practice Fusion account, open a patient chart, click "Capture Visit" in the Freed widget, and copy the generated note directly into Practice Fusion. 

2. Smart Visit Prep reduces preparation time before appointments. Our AI automatically reviews previous visit notes, highlighting relevant patient history and medications, suggesting follow-up items from prior encounters. All key information is organized before the patient arrives.

3. Customizable templates offer specialty-specific information for specialties like family medicine, gynecology, and pediatrics. For example, pediatrics templates include age-appropriate developmental assessments. Each template can be personalized to match your documentation preferences and automatically learns your style over time.
