TidalHealth, Atlantic General Hospital sign definitive agreement to bring both systems together
In Maryland, TidalHealth will acquire Atlantic General Hospital and transition it from Allscripts Sunrise to Epic.
Just a pedantic correction:
Atlantic General has been a Sunrise customer since at least the early 2000s. Sunrise Clinical Manager is a product of Altera Digital Health, a company that was the result of Allscripts selling it’s HHS BU (including all of the Enterprise EHRs – Sunrise, Paragon, TouchWorks) to Harris Computing Corporation for $700M in 2021.
Allscripts, at that point only having retained the Revenue Cycle/Financials, Follow My Health Patient Portal, and PRO EHR (Ambulatory) products along with some other IP, decided that people would associate the Allscripts name negatively. So they took the name of the Rev Cycle BU “Veradigm”. Veradigm has since been delisted from NASDAQ and is a hollowed-out shell. Veradigm has nothing to do with the Sunrise EHR.
Not to throw too much shade at Altera, they’re doing the best they can with the utterly destroyed company that the C-Suite at Allscripts left behind as they pocketed the monies and “retired”. SEC really needs to investigate those in charge from 2012-2022.
