OptumCare Selects Allscripts to Provide its Physicians a Connected Health IT Platform
August 04 2016 - 4:01PM
Health services company OptumCare, which is a part of Optum,
selected the Allscripts (NASDAQ:MDRX) TouchWorks suite – which
includes its electronic health record and practice management
solution – as the platform for its physician practices.
Implementation will begin later this year. OptumCare, a national
health care delivery organization serving more than 8 million
people in 49 geographic markets, supports doctors and other
clinicians in improving care and creating a better experience for
their patients.
Allscripts will integrate its electronic health record and
practice management software with the technology OptumCare
currently provides to its physicians. The combined technology and
single platform will make it easier for OptumCare to integrate
information about a patient’s care across the ambulatory care
continuum.
“As OptumCare continues to grow, we are building infrastructure
to make it easier for our physicians to serve the care needs of our
patients,” said Larry Renfro, CEO of Optum. “An important factor in
our selection of Allscripts is its embrace of open standards and
interoperability.”
“We are honored to be selected by OptumCare for this strategic
partnership,” said Allscripts CEO Paul Black. “Working together, we
will provide OptumCare physicians the clinical, health plan and
analytic data that will further enhance the high-quality care they
provide to their patients.”
