About Allscripts
Healthcare Solutions (AHS)
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions is a leading provider of clinical software, connectivity and information solutions that physicians use to improve healthcare. AHS has been delivering innovative solutions to healthcare since 1986. Originally focused on the medication delivery process, AHS branched out to offer a new solution to an old challenge: improving clinical workflow by leveraging an Electronic medical record (EMR) solution. AHS brought together the functionality from three leading healthcare IT solutions into a comprehensive, point-of-care clinical offering. Through the acquisitions of ChannelHealth, Medifor and MasterChart, AHS integrated a set of leading clinical software, document management solutions, care planning and clinical reference tools into a single EMR and clinical information solution — TouchWorks.
TouchWorks software is a modular Electronic medical record and clinical information solution that enhances physician workflow by automating the most common physician activities including electronic prescribing, dictating, capturing charges, ordering labs and viewing results, providing patient education, and documenting clinical encounters. In collaboration with our technology partners (including Microsoft, HP, IDX, Intel, and Cisco), physicians utilize TouchWorks on Tablet PC's, PDA's, or desktop workstations, enabling physicians to access information anytime and anywhere.
AHS helps our clients and their physicians to implement technology solutions that address their most pressing needs. Using a physician-centered approach we call IDDUINEM, AHS develops clinical tools like the electronic health record (EHR) that physicians need to have and want to use in pursuit of our vision to become an indispensable part of the way physicians practice medicine. Innovative clinical knowledge management, documentation, and workflow features help physicians focus more on the care of their patients, and less on administrative tasks - a welcome change that physicians appreciate. Our ability to drive physician utilization, coupled with a strong customer base, has made TouchWorks and AHS "the safe choice" for clinical automation.
Additionally, AHS provides patient compliance and healthcare product education services for physicians through its Physicians Interactive™ business and also provides medication fulfillment services. AHS provides software and services to over 20,000 physicians across the U.S.
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions is headquartered just outside of Chicago, IL, with additional locations in Burlington, VT, Port Townsend, WA, and Louisville, KY. The company is publicly traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol MDRX.
