Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (Allscripts) is providing this update in response to certain inaccurate information introduced into the market on March 7, 2018, regarding Allscripts business in Singapore.
The Singapore Ministry of Health and Integrated Health Information System (IHIS) recently conducted a solicitation to implement a country-wide, single EMR vendor solution. Allscripts participated in the solicitation. After a more than 18-month review, IHISs decision at this time is not to adopt a single country-wide EMR. Instead, the current go-forward strategy will be for Singapore to focus on two EMR solutions across Singapores healthcare clusters.
This decision means that Allscripts retains the entirety of its current Sunrise client base in Singapore, including the Ministry of Defense, Singapore Health Services, Parkway Health and Mt. Alvernia Hospital Groups a share that represents roughly 54% of the countrys public and approximately 70% of the countrys private hospital beds. Allscripts will also expand its footprint later in 2018, implementing Allscripts Sunrise at the 1,400-bed SengKang General and Community Hospitals system.
Allscripts clients in Singapore are committed to advancing their partnerships with Allscripts, and Allscripts will continue to deliver recognizable value through its suite of solutions. Allscripts is honored by its clients trust and is committed to helping them achieve their vision to deliver smarter health care.
