Platform Problems

In October 2012, Allscripts abruptly announced that its small practice software was going to be discontinued due to not being able to meet meaningful use attestation measurements. Forcing all myway customers on to their Allscripts PM platform. [12][13] With this a lawsuit took place over the faulty software.[14][15] With this first lawsuit of this nature it has become a reference for future cases in this industry. [16]

Legal Troubles

The merger with Eclipsys, however, did not pass muster in the eyes of the court system.[17]
