It provides the information patients need to better understand their diagnoses, adhere to their treatment plan and make positive choices that benefit their long-term health.
With Interactive Patient Education for Infobutton, Allscripts clients can enjoy quick and easy access to relevant content within existing patient care workflow; leverage evidence-based, peer-reviewed education that is current with the latest medical practices and guidelines; improve patient understanding and participation through use of consistent, easy-to-understand information; and support key regulatory requirements, accreditation standards and evidence-based care practice initiatives.
The ADP enables third-parties to build integrations quickly that enhance Allscripts EHR and practice management products. The Allscripts Open platform facilitates bi-directional application programming interfaces (APIs) that are transforming healthcare delivery, exchanging about 1 billion elements of data every year.
