CHICAGO and AMARILLO, Texas (January 04, 2007) –
Allscripts (Nasdaq: MDRX), the leading provider of clinical software, connectivity and information solutions that physicians use to improve healthcare, today announced that Amarillo Diagnostic Clinic P.A. has selected HealthMatics(R) Office, the integrated Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management System (PM) from Allscripts to automate clinical and financial operations for the multi-specialty group’s 24 physicians.

Amarillo Diagnostic Clinic, founded in 1968 as Amarillo’s first comprehensive outpatient diagnostic clinic, includes three offices and a new ambulatory surgery center. The clinic combines multi-specialty care with diagnostic capabilities including nuclear medicine, a state-of-the-art heart center with vascular ultrasound and echocardiography, a full diagnostic imaging center including CAT, PET and MRI technology, a sleep-disorders center, and clinical and neurodiagnostics laboratories.
“We want to be the first place that people come for quality care and the clear market leader in using technology to improve patient care,” said Alan Kennon, Administrator of Amarillo Diagnostic Clinic. “Allscripts provides our physicians instant access to the latest patient information anytime and anywhere, while consolidating our billing, scheduling and order entry for greater efficiency and patient satisfaction.”
HealthMatics Office combines the power of HealthMatics Electronic Health Record and HealthMatics Ntierprise Practice Management to provide one full-circle, seamless patient information management solution. Built on a single intelligent platform, HealthMatics Office links Amarillo Diagnostic Clinic’s business and clinical sides and provides caregivers instant and secure access to the complete patient record in the clinic, at the hospital or remotely.
After a two-year search, Amarillo Diagnostic Clinic selected Allscripts for its simple user interface, comprehensive functionality, and 24-hour 365-day technical support.
“Our first thought was to purchase HealthMatics EHR and attach it to our old practice management system, but then we decided that HealthMatics Ntierprise was more flexible and easier to use,” said Lindsey Tubbs, Amarillo’s Director of Business Operations. “A major selling point was the Electronic Health Record’s flexible templates, which make it easy for individual physicians in different specialties to customize the EHR for their own requirements.”
Allscripts Chief Executive Officer Glen Tullman commented, “We always look to partner with world-class organizations like the Amarillo Diagnostic Clinic, who share our commitment to using the latest software and technology to enhance patient care. By providing physicians with better information and enhancing their connectivity to other healthcare stakeholders, Amarillo expects to realize solid returns in the quality of care they provide and the cost of that care.”
