I posted most of the relevant...

Today, it was announced that Allscripts will acquire Eclipsys for $1.3 billion. This is a really big move and not all that unexpected. We knew that consolidation was coming and for that matter it’s going to keep happening. However, this is a very...

Sometimes it’s the little things you catch at an enormous conference at HIMSS that are the most powerful. One of those came for me when I was talking to the VP of marketing from one of the EHR vendors on the floor. This was one of the most interesting...

I found this about a week ago and found it really really interesting. Here’s the numbers for the EMR behemoth Allscripts per HIT News:
The company [Allscripts] made $15.8 million in net income for the quarter, turning around a $6 million loss for...

You can read the press release here about the Joint Commission award. CVS obviously found that additional investments with software development may not be worth the dollars spent when it is easier to perhaps partner with a company focused in this direction. If you are a provider using the CVS software...

A little while back I read an interesting EMR success story using the open source EMR appropriately named OpenEMR. The story is by Joe Holzer and I got his permission to republish it here for all to enjoy. You can find more about Joe on his website (not...

This is an interesting press release about connecting 7,000 physicians and 13 hospitals EHR systems together. Although, the most glaring part is the $400 million it will take to make it happen. Here’s the press release:

Many of you might remember me ripping on the EHR Stimulus Tour being a nice marketing idea for Allscripts. Ok, so maybe I went a little overboard when I said that the EHR stimulus tour sickens me and compared the EHR stimulus tour to an Amway or MLM convention...

I just ran into a Urologist who purchased an EMR. His group decided to get Allscripts because they knew Urologists who liked it. They also heard that Allscripts had very good support.
I have heard that Allscripts’ EMR is not very user-friendly....

If you work with a Tenet Hospital, it looks like some possible changes and upgrades could be on the horizon. Many of the ones I am familiar with have used systems from McKesson, but that’s only a few that I am acquainted with locally. With the joint venture it appears there may be a handful of...

No doubt many small EHR companies have been looking at themselves in the mirror long and hard and asking themselves how they’re going to survive this rough market. Not only did the HITECH act slow purchasing of EHR systems, but between “certified...

I previously posted about the EHR stimulus tour (no link since I don’t want to promote them). Today I saw what seems to amount to a press release that talks about the “EHR Stimulus Alliance” and their tour to “educate 500,000 U...

I have had the link to NEPSI on this site for quite a while. Just this week Quest Diagnostics announced their integration with Microsoft HealthVault. In looking back on some of the past press on the internet, Quest Labs is also a NEPSI partner. (see the article from October 2007 below...
