Can an Ad-Supported EMR Fuel Healthcare's Technology Revolution?

Good Health Media and Practice Fusion provide free Electronic Medical Record system to doctors across the country thanks to medical advertising program

New York, NY and San Francisco, CA - August 15, 2010 - As US doctors consider the switch from paper charts to Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Good Health Media and Practice Fusion have teamed up to provide an absolutely free EMR system supported by targeted advertising. Practice Fusion is the only ad-supported EMR platform for medical providers in a sector dominated by systems costing as much as $87,000 for a five provider practice in the first year. Since launching in 2005, Practice Fusion has grown quickly to 43,000 users and has gathered media attention for disrupting the health IT status quo.

Good Health Media is the fastest growing health ad network with 38 million uniques a month (Comscore) and is the exclusive ad network for Practice Fusion. Medical and pharmaceutical brands such as Wyeth, J&J, Amgen and Merck rely on Good Health Media for quality, targeted ad placements. Ads selected for display within Practice Fusion are carefully reviewed for relevancy to medical providers working mostly in primary care practices.

"Advertising is a natural fit in the healthcare sector," said Bill Jennings, CEO of Good Health Media. "Doctors get it; they're comfortable with discreet advertising inside their medical practice. The advertising programs give a small medical practice the chance to add a time-saving, life-saving technology solution - for free. It's a benefit for the advertiser, the doctor and the patient."

Key facts:

  • Practice Fusion's free, web-based Electronic Medical Record system serves 43,000 medical professionals in the US.
  • Legacy EMR systems cost $50,000+ per physician; a prohibitive price for small medical practices and a main factor in low technology adoption rates. EMR price comparison.
  • Ads from Good Health Media and Practice Fusion are discrete, private, never pop-up and never interrupt the practitioner’s workflow. Sample EMR ad placement.
  • Practice Fusion's unique ad-supported model was profiled in Wired Editor Chris Anderson's book Free: The Future of a Radical Price.
  • Ad-supported business models, long established in the consumer sector, are starting to emerge in the business sector. Practice Fusion is one of the only ad-supported enterprise businesses in the US along with IT management tool, Spiceworks.
  • Ad-supported internet companies contribute $300 billion to the US economy and support 1.2 million US jobs according to a 2009 IAB study.
  • Online ad spending in the pharmaceutical sector is predicted to increase 10.6% this year according to an eMarketer study.

"Our goal is to equip every doctor in the US with the highest quality Electronic Medical Record system," said Ryan Howard, CEO of Practice Fusion. "80% of the 800,000 doctors in the US practice in groups of nine or less. Those medical practices are small businesses that can't afford a $50,000/year EMR system. Together with Good Health Media, we're helping out the little guy."

New York, August 10, 2010 - Tynt Multimedia Inc. (www.Tynt.com), a free service that allows websites to boost traffic and improve SEO using detailed analytics on track copy/paste actions of their visitors, and Good Health Media (ghmedia.com), the fastest growing health advertising networks, today announced a partnership designed to dramatically improve user engagement on top health-related websites by delivering targeted and highly relevant information just when the user is seeking it.

Good Health Media's new ConditionSearch service uses Tynt technology to display related advertising information at the exact moment a user is seeking specific health information, while protecting the privacy of the user. For example, if a visitor to a Good Health Media site copies a term such as "fibromyalgia," the ConditionSearch service will instantly display context-relevant links and a display ad that are directly related to the copied term. Users benefit from receiving links to useful information they are searching for, and health advertisers have a better way of reaching their target audiences.

This partnership brings together two rapidly growing Web services businesses. Tynt's unique user engagement measurement and enhancement services are now in use on over 600,000 websites worldwide including many of the most highly visible publishing and content sites such as The New York Daily News, CondeNast, Daily Mail, Hearst, NASDAQ, NBC, Time, Sports Illustrated, The San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire, The New Yorker, Seventeen, Wired magazine and many other major brands.

Good Health Media (GHM) is the fastest growing health ad network with 38 million unique users per month as reported by Comscore, and represents many of the largest brands in the health industry. GHM advertisers include Merck, Amgen, Shire, BMS, Takeda, J&J, Wyeth, Walmart Pharmacy, CVS, P&G and others.

"By using Tynt Insight's analytics, our ConditionSearch service can make each user's visit to one of our health sites as productive and informative as it can be, while providing better results for health advertisers," said Bill Jennings, CEO of Good Health Media. "Our goal is to excel at providing specific niche health information to those who seek it, and Tynt is enabling us to do exactly that with the highest degree of precision."

Tynt Insight's patent-pending technology detects copy/paste actions of website visitors, enabling online content owners to understand, with pinpoint accuracy, exactly which content their visitors find most engaging, and to immediately act on that information to improve site performance. Tynt Insight is careful to retain visitor privacy by tracking only content that is copied; it does not capture any identifiable information about the site visitor.

"Delivering the most relevant content and advertisements to visitors is one of the best ways to enhance user engagement, lengthen site visits, drive incremental visits and increase advertisement performance and revenue," said Tynt CEO Derek Ball. "Good Health Media's focus on delivering highly valued niche information, and their aggressive expansion in the health and wellness vertical make them the perfect partner for us."
