On August 16, the FTC approved a Final Order resolving its complaint against
cloud-based electronic health records company Practice Fusion
regarding charges of misleading consumers by soliciting reviews for
doctors without adequately disclosing that the reviews would be
publicly posted on the internet. The settlement prohibits Practice
Fusion from making deceptive statements regarding the extent to
which it uses, maintains, and protects the privacy or
confidentiality of the information it collects, and requires
disclosure and consent prior to making information publicly
available. Additionally, the settlement prohibits Practice Fusion
from publicly displaying the reviews it collected during the time
period covered by the complaint.
