Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. is the provider of clinical software, services, information and connectivity solutions that empower physicians and other healthcare providers to deliver in-class patient safety, clinical outcomes and financial results [1] [2] [3]

In 2012, Allscripts has unveiled plans for a new tele-health solution to expand convenient access to care while providing patients and healthcare providers with time saving access and money saving products.

Integrating tele-health with Allscripts EHRs will give patients new ways to access care, whether they are at home or on the road. Healthcare providers will benefit by offering online voice and video interactions documented via their electronic health record, enhancing care coordination across providers.

The Allscripts systems provide the following main features which are interconnected: analytics and insights, care coordination and connectivity, physician experience, core financial, patient and consumer engagement, and services. [4] Allscripts has been ranked as #1 ‘Best of the Best’ Ambulatory EHR Vendor for Interoperablity, Communications and Connectivity by Black Book Rankings. [5]

History

Allscripts originated as a medication management company in 1986. The company developed an interest in information technology in 1997 and released an electronic prescription service for providers in 1998. Allscripts then procured numerous ambulatory EMRs in the following years. The new Allscripts was formed in August 2010 by the merger of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. with Eclipsys Corporation [1], creating the largest connected community of clients in healthcare [1]

John McConnell founded Medico Computer Systems in 1982 which offered practice management services to providers. Misys Group then procured this company and it was renamed to Misys Physician Systems in 2002. It was also during this time that Misys Physician Systems acquired Home Care Information Systems and entered the home health market. The company later acquired Payerpath in 2005 and changed its name again to Misys Healthcare Systems to strengthen their services. Misys merged with Allscripts in 2008 before merging with Eclipsys.
