Allscripts hits record-breaking 1 billion API data shares in a single year
December 08 2017 - 8:01AM
Allscripts (NASDAQ:MDRX) continues to lead the industry in
innovation, interoperability, data sharing, and connectivity as it
hits an industry leading milestone of one billion Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) data exchange transactions within
2017 – the most ever in a single year. For nearly 11 years, the
company has facilitated open, connected care communities through
its open platform, and its relationships with innovative
entrepreneurs and with healthcare providers.
To date, the Allscripts Developer Program (ADP) has certified
nearly 200 distinct applications and devices for its users, all
currently available through the company’s application store. APIs
help Allscripts clients rapidly implement and deploy innovative
solutions developed by independent software developers. Allscripts
clients also use the APIs for their own internal development and
integration projects.
“We have dedicated significant resources to build a robust and
agile development program and a company culture that makes data
sharing possible and sparks innovation,” said Paul M. Black,
Allscripts Chief Executive Officer. “To reach one billion data
shares in one year is incredibly exciting for both Allscripts and
the more than 6,600 developers using our APIs. It demonstrates that
OPEN is working.”
Additional ADP statistics:
- 1,580 client activations of third-party API
solutions as of October 31, 2017
- More than 3 billion API data shares since
2013
- An average of 12,000 unique visitors to the
Allscripts Application Store site each month
“There is an industry-wide call for open health data exchange
through APIs, which are a highly cost-effective approach to
interoperability,” continued Black. “Allscripts has been leading
the industry in this approach for more than a decade and we are
pleased to see it is quickly becoming the norm as others embrace
the simplification and value inherent in the use of APIs. Our
leadership in this area has allowed us to elevate the
interoperability conversation beyond doctor-to-doctor information
exchange to the potential that exists in using APIs to maximize
data sitting above the EHR for payers, caregivers and
consumers.”
In 2018, the company will focus on expanding FHIR (Fast
Healthcare Interoperability Resources), SMART (Substitutable
Medical Apps & Reusable Technology) and CDS Hooks into its core
product portfolios, which will add more entry points for third
parties to connect and exchange data with Allscripts clients.
“There is tremendous potential in the future of interoperability
as more stakeholders follow Allscripts leadership in the area of
APIs,” added Black. “Patients are using technologies developed
using our APIs, as are healthcare providers and payers. We will
continue investing in our Open ecosystem that is geared towards
making data not only fluid but actionable at the point of
care. It is very rewarding to support our clients in
delivering better patient care and driving greater value.”
