There was not a “layoff”…the team was restructured to deliver better service. The team is now under the Outcomes group which is responsible for the services deliverd to the previous labled Alliance clients. The program is still in place under a new name and some of that team is still in place

Allscripts changed all of their product names at their recent user conference in Chicago (August 6-8), but the word from customers at ACE 2008 is that support is at an all time low for the Touchworks (now Enterprise) products and that upgrades to version 11 are a nightmare.

Aparently if you are in line to upgrade from version 10 to 11, you might be able to go sooner rather than later due to cold feet.

It looks like everything at Allscripts is focused on the Misys merger.

Dx SORIAN. Would Dr. Don Francis really consider Sorian the scourge of 2008, “A threat no one dared face” Healthcare Immunodeficiency Technology (HIT)? “And the Band Plays On.”

Yes, a rather cryptic response to a SOARING problem in healthcare.

So Siemens has finally bankrupted HMC. Between the facility selling off its profitable units, Perot taking over for the 89 people laid off and just poor decisions (buying multiple systems and never implementing), not really a surprise.
