Thread regarding Allscripts layoffs

Meditech is clearly known as a Community solution and for the past few years has added Expanse for ambulatory and now has a Google Cloud deployment model. Cerner has had a community model for years and now has a true AWS cloud version. Epic has the Community Connect model for both acute and ambulatory. Allscripts is and has never been known as a community based solution vendor and they still struggle with higher costs because they don’t have have integrated Lab solution which all 3 other vendors have to keep costs down. When they acquired Paragon 4 years ago from McKesson that was supposed to be the go forward community solution but clearly someone screwed up the due diligence because the ambulatory module was a myth and word is that the ED module was not where it needed to be. Apparently about one third of those paragon customers they acquired are gone or are leaving. So, they had a chance to be a player in the community market but screwed up another acquisition along with Healthgrid and dbMotion.
So, there you have it.
Still pitiful that Azalea (a shrub) outsold them in the community market.

Former employee here. Not surprised at all. Product management is ladled with people , who only recite terminology with zero understanding of industry direction and what is important & RD management layered with mediocrity and clueless...

If you look at point #2. This says a lot. Allscripts spent considerable time building their Azure Community model aimed at critical access, rural and under 100 bed hospitals and they landed NONE !!!! Even Azalea sold a couple. That is all you need to know about how Allscripts is viewed in the marketplace.
