Electronic health records vendor Practice Fusion Inc will pay $145 Million for soliciting and accepting kickbacks from a “major” opioid drug company in exchange for using their software to sway doctors to prescribe opioids.

#HealthcareFraud #OpioidCrisis
Practice Fusion designed their software to include clinical decision support alerts to “alert” doctors when to prescribe those company’s drugs.

Of course #BigPharma sponsored them & they allowed big pharma to help develop & implement those alerts so they could push their drugs.
Practice Fusion solicited one payment from an opioid company for almost $1 million. The opioid co’s marketing dept paid for it also helped to design the alert.
Practice Fusion also has to cooperate in any ongoing investigations, which means charges are probably coming against people who were involved. (this charge here is against the company itself).
