 In addition to implementing Sunrise within the hospital,

“Our new partnership with Allscripts will help Flagler Hospital
continue to enhance quality while delivering important new
capabilities,” said Flagler Hospital President Joe Gordy. “In
particular, this initiative supports our long tradition of
partnering with St. Augustine’s community physicians by providing
interoperability and two-way connectivity to the hospital, whether
they use an Allscripts EHR, one from another company, or still
practice on paper. That sets Allscripts apart from their
competitors’ closed systems, which would sharply limit the ability
for our physicians to seamlessly share critical patient safety
information across multiple systems.”

Allscripts Modern, Open Platform Was Deciding Factor

After an extensive and highly competitive search, Flagler
Hospital selected Allscripts in July 2011 based on the company’s
open, Microsoft-based technology platform, which reduces total cost
of ownership and simplifies interoperability a
