Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc. announced that Memorial Hospital at Gulfport has selected the company's Electronic Health Record and Practice Management solution, with Allscripts Revenue Cycle Management, to enhance the quality of the care delivered by its 100 employed physicians, improve patient communications, and better manage the cost of care delivery. The Allscripts Electronic Health Record enables Memorial's physicians to instantly access patient information when and where they need it - in the clinic, at the hospital or while on-call at home -- and automates everyday clinical tasks such as prescribing medications, documenting patient visits and obtaining best-practice guidelines for care. Memorial will provide its physicians with Allscripts Practice Management and Revenue Cycle Management solutions, which are used by thousands of physician groups across the U.S. to process more than 260 million claims annually and 500 million revenue cycle management transactions. The Allscripts Practice Management solution with integrated Revenue Cycle Management combines billing and scheduling with integrated claims, remittance and eligibility capabilities in a single package.

Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions Inc. announced that Soundview Medical Associates has selected Allscripts Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management (PM) to enhance the quality of the care delivered by its 22 physicians, improve patient communications, and better manage the cost of care delivery. Soundview's physicians selected Allscripts for its 'user friendly interface,' its reputation for reliability and its ability to seamlessly integrate the clinical and business aspects of the practice. Soundview plans to establish connectivity between the new system and key information systems at Norwalk Hospital. Electronic Health Record's ability to share information with other IT systems and between its providers will help Soundview qualify as a 'Patient Centered Medical Home' (PCMH). This designation, available to physician groups through the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), is built upon emerging practice standards that seek to strengthen the physician-patient relationship by replacing episodic care based on illnesses and patient complaints with coordinated care and a long-term healing relationship.

Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions Inc. announced that Integrated Medical Services (IMS) has selected the Allscripts Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management solution, with Allscripts Revenue Cycle Management, to enhance the quality of the care delivered by its 100 physicians, improve patient communications, and better manage the cost of care delivery. The agreement with Allscripts enables IMS to provide its expanding base of physician practices a single solution to automate and enhance back-office functions like billing and scheduling while delivering the real-time information its physicians need to provide coordinated patient care across the IMS network. The deployment of the Web-hosted Allscripts solutions replaces six legacy EHR systems and a number of practice management systems that IMS has acquired as new physician groups joined its team.
