Thread regarding Allscripts layoffs

New EHR Moves from Beckers

Where is Allscripts/Altera ?

Here are four health systems that have implemented new EHR systems since Aug. 2.

Winchester, Va.-based Valley Health will spend $50 million to install its own Epic EHR system. The health system has used Epic's EHR through a partnership with Falls Church, Va.-based Inova Health System since 2014 and plans to install its own upgraded version of the system.

Greenbrae, Calif.-based MarinHealth Medical Center implemented a new EHR system in collaboration with the University of California San Francisco Medical Center. The new system, dubbed APeX, allows patients to have digital access to all their health information through Epic Systems' patient portal.

Warren (Pa.) General Hospital is installing Meditech's EHR system. The Meditech Expanse EHR, expected to cost $2.3 million to install, aims to consolidate its current hospital records across three different platforms into one.

MercyOne health system will transition to Epic EHR to align with Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health. Trinity plans to transition MercyOne to its common platforms, including a single EHR. MercyOne uses Cerner but will switch to Epic, which Trinity rolled out to its hospitals over the last few years.

Altera can't get a 1 - 20 bed up facility w/in a year. EPIC is becoming plug & play since many hospitals have it & are networked. Don't kid yourself.

You got to be brand new to software industry! Clarify your astute observation "when do EHRs deploy monthly" or if it was sarcastic.. referring to a medical software company who has not had any recent deploys in over year.? If sarcastic , nice one :)

Every implementation, no matter what industry and no matter length of implementation will always go live in a given month. Looked like several were epic so they would stagger the go lives to control swamping support resources. Novel idea
