HISTORY

Allscripts originated as a medication management company in 1986. The company developed an interest in information technology in 1997 and released an electronic prescription service for providers in 1998. Allscripts then procured numerous ambulatory EMRs in the following years. The new Allscripts was formed in August 2010 by the merger of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. with Eclipsys Corporation [10], creating the largest connected community of clients in healthcare [11].

John McConnell founded Medico Computer Systems in 1982 which offered practice management services to providers. Misys Group then procured this company and it was renamed to Misys Physician Systems in 2002. It was also during this time that Misys Physician Systems acquired Home Care Information Systems and entered the home health market. The company later acquired Payerpath in 2005 and changed its name again to Misys Healthcare Systems to strengthen their services. Misys merged with Allscripts in 2008 before merging with Eclipsys.

Harvey Wilson founded Eclipsys in 1995 and procured MediNotes, a practice management company, in 2008.

Allscripts is listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange as MDRX. On September 2, 2011, Allscripts stock price was $17.12.[12]
