Next round of layoffs
Do we have any info yet on the next round of layoffs?
Try and keep the micromanaging to a minimum
I've enjoyed working here despite the layoffs that have been increasing in frequency, but since I got a new manager six months ago things have turned sour. I've been doing the same job for more than two years but he feels the need to micromanage my... — read more

New PTO and Sick Leave Policies for 2022.
They will likely be great from a recruiting aspect and the younger employees will like the more flexible policy. Not sure what the more senior employees think. I liked the structure of our former policy but will adjust. Change is hard, but now... — read more

Don't stress ahead of time
If December 15 layoffs were truly confirmed, more people would know and would be talking about it by now. Realistically, we have zero reasons for layoffs right now, but even if we did, getting upset over an obviously random date would make no sense... — read more
Reality Check
With all the bashing of the new business sales team out here, the reality is the lack of sales is not their fault. It's been probably 5 years since there has been a new Sunrise sale (not existing Allscripts) customer that was over 500 beds. Since... — read more

Stock Price
The stock price is up $3 over the past month and it's not based on the earnings release. All kidding aside about the ridiculous promotion of the new SVP, the reorg of segregating the Health and Hospitals business under the CEO and everything else... — read more
Comical Earnings Call
It’s amazing how they spin sales stories. Lompoc is a 60 bed existing client which extended and is moving to Azure. Shenandoah is an existing Critical Access client which is extending and moving to Azure. Wilson N Jones is an existing Paragon client... — read more
I miss the old Allscripts
People who complain that this has become a very bad place to work often forget to say that it was not always like this. Once upon a time, Allscripts was a place where the most competent people were respected and where hard work was far more valued... — read more

What's the problem?
I don’t intend to do triple workloads for much longer. This company needs a lot of new people. It’s not clear to me why some positions remain unoccupied for so long after someone leaves. What's the problem? People don't want to work here?... — read more
Aloha from the Unpresidential Club
Got to Maui for President's Club and found out that the guy the runs all of sales and is respected by the entire team was not invited to be here. How is that possible ? I have never heard of a President's Club where the SVP of Sales was not... — read more
Northwell
Word is hitting the streets that the Northwell CIO is retiring. He has been Allscripts biggest supporter over the years. This could spell the END !!!!!
NY State Vaccine Requirements on September 27
NY is requiring all hospital employees to have received at least their first vaccine dose by September 27 or they must be terminated. Allscripts must have close to 1500 people at Northwell as part of their Outsourcing agreement. Wonder if this... — read more
Pending Layoffs?
It’s end of the quarter, the vaccine deadline for many is looming on 10/1. What are the chances of reductions coming in the next few weeks? TouchWorks is loosing revenue every quarter and the long term outlook isn’t good
Afraid of the Truth
I left Allscripts 6 months ago but still follow what is going on. I recently posted "ACTUAL" statistics from an article published on Becker's out here about current number of hospitals by EMR vendor as well as gains and losses over the past year. It... — read more

More from Beckers
Guess that 1 net new deal in 2+ years by the BEES wasn't worthy of making Becker's news: Here are 12 things to know about the EHR market and top vendors: KLAS named Epic its 2021 Best in KLAS Overall Software Suite, the 11th year in a row the... — read more

Club Covid 2
Sales Club plans for Maui beginning of October but Hawaii has strict Covid group limit rules now for both indoor and outdoor group limits. Chances are they will be scuffling to find an alternative place on short notice. You can bet the esteemed... — read more
Allscripts Continues the Yard Sale
Per HISTALK MDRX sold 2bPrecise for an undisclosed amount so the yard sale continues.
ACE
Allscripts has their annual ACE user group meeting this week virtually while EPIC has their annual user group meeting this week in person in Wisconsin. Different type of commitment to their clients.
Management is Worried About this Board
Apparently, management is worried about what is getting posted on this board and has either HR and/or Marketing monitoring it 7/24 because posts are getting deleted. This is a public blog so it's pitiful that they are doing this. Apparently, the LK... — read more
I like working at Allscripts
Have worked here for 20 years and I sure as he-l would have left if I did not like it. Am always very sad to see any of my friends and co-workers laid off and I wish that did not have to happen at all...but realize that must be done at times to shore... — read more
Earnings Call Tonight
Can't wait to hear the boys spin how great things are when they have had 1 new Sunset deal in the past 10 quarters. They will talk about the progress they are making moving customers to Azure, but that is more spin because those are mostly existing... — read more
Which Will Happen First
Which is more likely to happen first ? An existing Sunset customer will announce they are moving to Epic or they will sign a net new Sunset customer ?
TouchWorks in Trouble
Apparently the woman who ran Touchworks development and services is no longer around. Allscripts was supposed to release a true HTML version of TW back in 2018 which would make it much easier for customers to deploy and lower costs but here we are in... — read more
MDRX Theme Song
Is it true that MDRX is adopting the song "Sunrise, Sunset" from "Fidler on the Roof" as its theme song? It would make a lot of sense given they have appeared to have announced only one net new Sunrise account in the 2 1/2 years other than those... — read more
HIMSS
Apparently, Allscripts will not be having a booth at HIMSS this year, only private meeting rooms. Attendance is projected to be way down this year but Epic and Cerner are having booths. Either they just don't want to spend the $$ on a booth or they... — read more

More Insider Selling
Paul sold $2.1M in mid-June and Lisa sold $877k in mid-June. Poulton sold $1.2M. If it weren't for the sales of Careport and EPSI the stock would still be at $8 and those sales would be at half the value. WHAT A SHAME !!!!
